  OSSP str - String Handling
  Version 0.9.8 (17-Feb-2003)

  ABSTRACT

  OSSP str is a generic string library written in ISO-C which
  provides functions for handling, matching, parsing, searching and
  formatting of ISO-C strings. So it can be considered as a superset
  of POSIX string(3), but its main intention is to provide a more
  convinient and compact API plus a more generalized functionality.
