1429 * strings.

1444 * preceded or immediately followed by another alpha-numeric character.

1481 * Returns: The resulting string.

1506 * purple_restore_default_signal_handlers:
1508 * Restore default signal handlers for signals which might reasonably have
1509 * handlers. This should be called by a fork()'d child process, since child processes
1510 * inherit the handlers of the parent.
1512 void purple_restore_default_signal_handlers(void);
