3.1.1.2 String Handling

An NSPI server holds values of properties for objects. Some of these values are strings. The NSPI Protocol allows string values to be represented as 8-bit character strings or Unicode strings. All string valued properties held by an NSPI server are categorized as either natively of Property Type PtypString or natively of Property Type PtypString8. Those properties natively of Property Type PtypString8 are further categorized as either case-sensitive or case-insensitive.
