NAME
     eq, ecq - string equality test.

     countchar, countchar2, countstr - count characters and strings within the
     string.

     replace, replace_detach, limittextwidth - miscellaneous text functions.

SYNOPSIS
     #include <strfunc.h>

     Equality test:
     int
     eq(const char *a, const char *b);

     Case-insensitive equality test:
     int
     ecq(const char *a, const char *b);

     Count the number of specified character within the string:
     int
     countchar(const char *string, char what2countChar);

     Count the number of specified characters within the string:
     int
     countchar2(const char *string, char *what2countSet);

     Count the number of specified little strings within the big string:
     int
     countstr(const char *string, char *what2countString);

     Replace the substring:
     char *
     replace(char *string, char *what, char *to);

     char *
     replace_detach();

     Limit text width by inserting line breaks:
     char *
     limittextwidth(char *text, size_t width);

DESCRIPTION
     eq() and ecq() function are just short names for !strcmp(3) and
     !strcasecmp(3)

     countchar() and countchar2() both used to compute the number of specified
     character's occurences within the specified string.  countstr() used to
     compute the number of little string's occurences within the big string.

     replace() replaces the occurences of string what to the specified string
     to and able to do it when invoked recursive. The string is stored inside
     the library and if you want it to be completely yours, call
     replace_detach().

     limittextwidth() ALTERS the source string, inserting the newlines ('\n')
     to break the long lines. Long line is the line which is more then width
     characters in length.
