Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

way too many mistakes in technical documents.
NAME
OPENSSL_strcasecmp, OPENSSL_strncasecmp - compare two strings ignoring case
SYNOPSIS
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/crypto.h> \& int OPENSSL_strcasecmp(const char *s1, const char *s2); int OPENSSL_strncasecmp(const char *s1, const char *s2, size_t n); .Ve
DESCRIPTION
Header "DESCRIPTION" The OPENSSL_strcasecmp function performs a byte-by-byte comparison of the strings \fBs1 and s2, ignoring the case of the characters.

The OPENSSL_strncasecmp function is similar, except that it compares no more than \fBn bytes of s1 and s2.

In POSIX-compatible system and on Windows these functions use "C" locale for case insensitive. Otherwise the comparison is done in current locale.

"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" Both functions return an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if s1 is found, respectively, to be less than, to match, or be greater than s2.
NOTES
Header "NOTES" OpenSSL extensively uses case insensitive comparison of ASCII strings. Though OpenSSL itself is locale-agnostic, the applications using OpenSSL libraries may unpredictably suffer when they use localization (e.g. Turkish locale is well-known with a specific I/i cases). These functions use C locale for string comparison.
