| For file-5.35, the documentation for pstring in the man and info pages says:

| H A 4 byte big endian length.
| h A 2 byte little endian length.
| L A 4 byte big endian length.
| l A 2 byte little endian length.
The file.h header says:
#define CHAR_PSTRING_2_BE 'H'
#define CHAR_PSTRING_2_LE 'h'
#define CHAR_PSTRING_4_BE 'L'
#define CHAR_PSTRING_4_LE 'l'

| In my testing, it looks like the lowercase versions are 4-byte and the

| how it's supposed to work?
I have fixed it, thanks!
