+.PP
+\fBmysql_fix_extensions\fR
+converts the extensions for
+MyISAM
+(or
+ISAM) table files to their canonical forms\&. It looks for files with extensions matching any lettercase variant of
+\&.frm,
+\&.myd,
+\&.myi,
+\&.isd, and
+\&.ism
+and renames them to have extensions of
+\&.frm,
+\&.MYD,
+\&.MYI,
+\&.ISD, and
+\&.ISM, respectively\&. This can be useful after transferring the files from a system with case\-insensitive file names (such as Windows) to a system with case\-sensitive file names\&.
