-\func{int}{Stricmp}{\param{const char *}{p1}, \param{const char *}{p2}}
+\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.
Calling wxHandleFatalExceptions() with {\it doIt} equal to FALSE will restore
this default behaviour.

-\func{int}{wxKill}{\param{long}{ pid}, \param{int}{ sig}}

-Under Unix (the only supported platform), equivalent to the Unix kill function.
-Returns 0 on success, -1 on failure.
+Initializes all available image handlers. For a list of available handlers,
+see \helpref{wxImage}{wximage}.

-Tip: sending a signal of 0 to a process returns -1 if the process does not exist.
-It does not raise a signal in the receiving process.

+This function is used in wxBase only and only if you don't create

+\func{int}{wxKill}{\param{long}{ pid}, \param{int}{ sig = wxSIGTERM}, \param{wxKillError }{*rc = NULL}}
+
+Equivalent to the Unix kill function: send the given signal {\it sig} to the

+
+\begin{verbatim}

+{
+ wxSIGNONE = 0, // verify if the process exists under Unix

+ wxSIGTERM // terminate the process gently
+};
+\end{verbatim}
+
+{\tt wxSIGNONE}, {\tt wxSIGKILL} and {\tt wxSIGTERM} have the same meaning
+under both Unix and Windows but all the other signals are equivalent to
+{\tt wxSIGTERM} under Windows.
+
+Returns 0 on success, -1 on failure. If {\it rc} parameter is not NULL, it will
+be filled with an element of {\tt wxKillError} enum:
+
+\begin{verbatim}

+{
+ wxKILL_OK, // no error

\membersection{wxConstCast}\label{wxconstcast}
-\func{}{wxConstCast}{ptr, classname}
+\func{classname *}{wxConstCast}{ptr, classname}
This macro expands into {\tt const\_cast<classname *>(ptr)} if the compiler
supports {\it const\_cast} or into an old, C-style cast, otherwise.
\membersection{wxDynamicCast}\label{wxdynamiccast}
-\func{}{wxDynamicCast}{ptr, classname}
+\func{classname *}{wxDynamicCast}{ptr, classname}
This macro returns the pointer {\it ptr} cast to the type {\it classname *} if
-the pointer is of this type (the check is done during the run-time) or NULL
-otherwise. Usage of this macro is preferred over obsoleted wxObject::IsKindOf()
-function.
+the pointer is of this type (the check is done during the run-time) or
+{\tt NULL} otherwise. Usage of this macro is preferred over obsoleted
+wxObject::IsKindOf() function.
-The {\it ptr} argument may be NULL, in which case NULL will be returned.
+The {\it ptr} argument may be {\tt NULL}, in which case {\tt NULL} will be
+returned.

+\func{classname *}{wxDynamicCastThis}{classname}
+
+This macro is equivalent to {\tt wxDynamicCast(this, classname)} but the
+latter provokes spurious compilation warnings from some compilers (because it
+tests whether {\tt this} pointer is non {\tt NULL} which is always true), so
+this macro should be used to avoid them.
