Why does deimos have a small letter c and sometimes a big letter C?


libmysql has the big letter C.


Which one is going to be the official one?

Small was always the convention. Not sure why mysql uses a big letter.

Huh? ZeroMQ, ncurses, systemd, libmediainfo, libev, liblzma, libevent, OpenSSL, libexif, libsndfile and portaudio all use a capital »C« as directory name – and if anything, this has been »the convention«, as Walter's initial OpenSSL repo also used this variant.

Not that it would matter, though, the directory only serve the purpose of documenting which exact version of the C headers was used to create the translation…
