Converting twice results in the original string. Non-letter characters are not converted. .PP The rot13 encryption method is used commonly on USENET to hide offensive text, or spoilers in discussions about movies or books, or in other similar occasions. .SH "RETURN VALUE" \fIstrrot13\fR returns its argument. .SH "SEE ALSO" publib(3), crypt(3) .SH AUTHOR Lars Wirzenius (lars.wirzenius@helsinki.fi)
