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…
