<h2>Syntax</h2>

<dl>
<dt>(nstring-downcase <i>string</i> [{:start | :end} <i>offset</i>] ... )</dt>
<dd><i>string</i> - a string expression<br>
<i>offset</i> - an optional integer expression for a keyword<br>
returns - the converted string, not a copy</dd>
</dl>

<h2>Description</h2>

<p>The 'nstring-downcase' function takes a string argument and makes it
lower case. This function modifies the string or string variable itself, it
does not just make a copy. The lower case string is returned.</p>

<p> The keyword arguments allow for accessing substrings within 'string'.
The keyword arguments require a keyword [':start' or ':end'] first and a
single integer expression second. The ':start' keyword specifies the
starting offset for the 'nstring-downcase' operation on 'string'. A value of
0 starts the string at the beginning [no offset]. The ':end' keyword
specifies the end offset for the operation on 'string'.</p>

<h2>Examples</h2>

<pre class="example">
(nstring-downcase "ABcd+-12&amp;[")                <font color="#008844">; returns "abcd+-&amp;["</font>
(nstring-downcase "ABCDEFGH" :start 2 :end 4)  <font color="#008844">; returns "ABcdEFGH"</font>

(setq mystr "ABcdEFgh")        <font color="#008844">; set up variable</font>
(nstring-downcase mystr)       <font color="#008844">; returns "abcdefgh"</font>
(print mystr)                  <font color="#008844">; prints  "abcdefgh"</font>
                               <font color="#008844">; note that MYSTR is modified</font>
