proc startsWith(s, prefix: cstring): bool {...}{.noSideEffect, gcsafe,
                                       extern: "csuStartsWith", raises: [], tags: [].}

Returns true iff s starts with prefix.

If prefix == "" true is returned.

proc cmpIgnoreStyle(a, b: cstring): int {...}{.noSideEffect, gcsafe,
                                     extern: "csuCmpIgnoreStyle", raises: [],
                                     tags: [].}

Semantically the same as cmp(normalize($a), normalize($b)). It is just optimized to not allocate temporary strings. This should NOT be used to compare Nim identifier names. use macros.eqIdent for that. Returns:

0 iff a == b
< 0 iff a < b
> 0 iff a > b

proc cmpIgnoreCase(a, b: cstring): int {...}{.noSideEffect, gcsafe,
                                    extern: "csuCmpIgnoreCase", raises: [], tags: [].}

Compares two strings in a case insensitive manner. Returns:

0 iff a == b
< 0 iff a < b
> 0 iff a > b
