* Use of functions
------------------
+For the sake of uclibc, do not use index, bcopy or bzero; use
+strchr(), memset(), and memmove() instead. uclibc can be configured
+to supply these functions, but we can save these users
+time and consternation if we abstain from using these
+functions.

When making applications, always ast_strdupa(data) to a local pointer if
you intend to parse the incoming data string.
