NAME
atobool - convert ASCII to BOOLEAN value
SYNOPSIS
#include <cbase/dtypes.h>
BOOLEAN atobool (sptr)
char *sptr;
DESCRIPTION
This function converts a string pointed to by sptr to a boolean value. Atobool converts the string with the format returned by getfbool(C-3).
A BOOLEAN format has two specifiers. If the string sptr matches the first specifier, a TRUE (nonzero) value is returned. All other strings return a FALSE (zero) value. Partial matches are also considered valid. For example, if the specifier is yes, strings of y, ye, and yes are all valid.

NOTES
Strings are compared case insensitive (i.e., Y, YE,
YES, and Yes are also valid for the previous example).
