NAME

lcasep - convert first field to lower case  

SYNOPSIS

lcasep [ -f infile ] [ -o outfile ]  

DESCRIPTION

Lcasep converts all upper case characters in the first field of each input line to lower case and writes the line to its output. By default, lcasep reads from the standard input and writes to the standard output. Fields are delimited by a tab (ascii~0x9) character. It is used in preparation for sorting smail's paths database. There is a bug in sort -f that causes non-alphanumeric keys to be sorted incorrectly. Conversion before sorting avoids this bug.
