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.
