ARGUMENTS

DESCRIPTION
       The first three routines convert the case of individual Unicode charac-
       ters:

       If ch represents a lower-case character, Tcl_UniCharToUpper returns the
       corresponding upper-case character.   If  no  upper-case  character  is
       defined, it returns the character unchanged.

       If  ch  represents  an upper-case character, Tcl_UniCharToLower returns
       the corresponding lower-case character.  If no lower-case character  is
       defined, it returns the character unchanged.

       If ch represents a lower-case character, Tcl_UniCharToTitle returns the
       corresponding title-case character.   If  no  title-case  character  is
       defined,  it  returns  the  corresponding  upper-case character.  If no
       upper-case character is defined, it returns  the  character  unchanged.
       Title-case is defined for a small number of characters that have a dif-
       ferent appearance when they are at the beginning of a capitalized word.

       The  next  three routines convert the case of UTF-8 strings in place in
       memory:

       Tcl_UtfToUpper changes every UTF-8  character  in  str  to  upper-case.
       Because  changing the case of a character may change its size, the byte
       offset of each character in the resulting string may  differ  from  its
       original location.  Tcl_UtfToUpper writes a null byte at the end of the
       converted string.  Tcl_UtfToUpper returns the new length of the  string
       in bytes.  This new length is guaranteed to be no longer than the orig-
       inal string length.

       Tcl_UtfToLower is the same as Tcl_UtfToUpper except it turns each char-
       acter in the string into its lower-case equivalent.

       Tcl_UtfToTitle  is the same as Tcl_UtfToUpper except it turns the first
       character in the string into its title-case equivalent and all  follow-
       ing characters into their lower-case equivalents.


BUGS
       At  this  time, the case conversions are only defined for the ISO8859-1
       characters.  Unicode characters above 0x00ff are not modified by  these
       routines.
