This chapter describes some of the key NSPR functions for manipulating strings. Libraries built on top of NSPR, such as the Netscape security libraries, use these functions to manipulate strings. If you are copying or examining strings for use by such libraries or freeing strings that were allocated by such libraries, you must use these NSPR functions rather than the libc equivalents.
