Makes a copy of the string {\it s} using the C++ new operator, so it can be
deleted with the {\it delete} operator.
+\membersection{::wxIsEmpty}\label{wxisempty}

+\func{bool}{wxIsEmpty}{\param{const char *}{ p}}

+\membersection{::wxStricmp}\label{wxstricmp}

+\func{int}{wxStricmp}{\param{const char *}{p1}, \param{const char *}{p2}}
+
+Returns a negative value, 0, or positive value if {\it p1} is less than, equal
+to or greater than {\it p2}. The comparison is case-insensitive.
+
+This function complements the standard C function {\it strcmp()} which performs

+Returns {\tt TRUE} if the substring {\it s1} is found within {\it s2},

-\membersection{::IsEmpty}\label{isempty}

-\func{bool}{IsEmpty}{\param{const char *}{ p}}

-Returns TRUE if the string is empty, FALSE otherwise. It is safe to pass NULL

-\membersection{::Stricmp}\label{stricmp}
-
-\func{int}{Stricmp}{\param{const char *}{p1}, \param{const char *}{p2}}
-
-Returns a negative value, 0, or positive value if {\it p1} is less than, equal

-This function complements the standard C function {\it strcmp()} which performs

-\func{size\_t}{Strlen}{\param{const char *}{ p}}
+\func{size\_t}{wxStrlen}{\param{const char *}{ p}}
This is a safe version of standard function {\it strlen()}: it does exactly the
same thing (i.e. returns the length of the string) except that it returns 0 if
-{\it p} is the NULL pointer.
+{\it p} is the {\tt NULL} pointer.

-Under Unix (the only supported platform), equivalent to the Unix kill function.

+Equivalent to the Unix kill function: send the given signal {\it sig} to the
