Hello,
I've built a news site using SimplePie to pull in a set of feeds and display them on a page. The caching is working but the problem is that the first initial load is slow. After that, you can hit refresh and it loads very quickly. I'd like to eliminate that first slow load by creating a... (2 Replies)
Hi All
Please excuse another straightforward question. When creating a tar archive from a directory I am attempting to use wildcards to eliminate certain filetypes (otherwise the archive gets too large). So I am looking for something along these lines.

I have googled around a bit and could not find an answer to how this works:
echo $STRING | awk '$0=$NF' FS=
I know what each part is doing. The record is being set to equal the last field and the field separator is being set to null so that each character is considered a field. Why can FS= be... (4 Replies)

case
case(3) Library Functions Manual case(3)NAME
case - convert ASCII uppercase bytes to lowercase
SYNTAX
#include <case.h>
void case_lowers(s);
void case_lowerb(s,len);
int case_diffs(s,t);
int case_equals(s,t);
int case_starts(s,t);
int case_diffb(s,len,t);
int case_startb(s,len,t);
char *s;
char *t;
unsigned int len;
DESCRIPTION
case_lowers converts each uppercase byte in the string s to lowercase. s must be 0-terminated.
case_lowerb converts each uppercase byte in the buffer s, of length len, to lowercase.
case_diffs lexicographically compares lowercase versions of the strings s and t. It returns something positive, negative, or zero when the
first is larger than, smaller than, or equal to the second. s and t must be 0-terminated.
case_equals means !case_diffs.
case_starts returns 1 if a lowercase version of s starts with a lowercase version of t. s and t must be 0-terminated.
case_diffb lexicographically compares lowercase versions of the buffers s and t, each of length len. It returns something positive, nega-
tive, or zero when the first is larger than, smaller than, or equal to the second.
case_startb returns 1 if a lowercase version of the buffer s, of length len, starts with a lowercase version of the string t. t must be
0-terminated.
The case routines are ASCII-specific. They are suitable for programs that handle case-independent networking protocols.
All comparisons are performed on unsigned bytes.
