+.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
+\fI.frm\fR,
+\fI.myd\fR,
+\fI.myi\fR,
+\fI.isd\fR, and
+\fI.ism\fR
+and renames them to have extensions of
+\fI.frm\fR,
+\fI.MYD\fR,
+\fI.MYI\fR,
+\fI.ISD\fR, and
+\fI.ISM\fR, 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.
