map(3)                LPC Library Functions                map(3)

NAME
     map() - modify an mapping, array, or string via  application
     of a function

SYNOPSIS
     mapping map( mapping | mixed* | string x, string fun, object ob,
                  mixed extra, ... );
     mapping map( mapping | mixed* | string x, function f, mixed extra, ... );

DESCRIPTION
     If the first argument is a mapping,  map()  behaves  exactly
     like  map_mapping().   If  it  is  an  array,  map() behaves
     exactly like map_array().  If it's  argument  is  a  string,
     map() passes each character (as an int) to the function, and
     replaces the character with the return value if  the  return
     value is a non-zero integer.

SEE ALSO
     filter_array(3), sort_array(3), map_array(3), map_mapping(3)
