3 <<tolower>>, <<tolower_l>>---translate characters to lowercase
16 int tolower(int <[c]>);
17 int _tolower(int <[c]>);
20 int tolower_l(int <[c]>, locale_t <[locale]>);
24 <<tolower>> is a macro which converts uppercase characters to lowercase,
25 leaving all other characters unchanged. It is only defined when
26 <[c]> is an integer in the range <<EOF>> to <<255>>.
28 <<tolower_l>> is like <<tolower>> but performs the function based on the
29 locale specified by the locale object locale. If <[locale]> is
30 LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or not a valid locale object, the behaviour is undefined.
32 You can use a compiled subroutine instead of the macro definition by
33 undefining this macro using `<<#undef tolower>>' or `<<#undef tolower_l>>'.
35 <<_tolower>> performs the same conversion as <<tolower>>, but should
36 only be used when <[c]> is known to be an uppercase character (<<A>>--<<Z>>).
39 <<tolower>>, <<tolower_l>> return the lowercase equivalent of <[c]> when
40 <[c]> is an uppercase character, and <[c]> otherwise.
42 <<_tolower>> returns the lowercase equivalent of <[c]> when it is a
43 character between <<A>> and <<Z>>. If <[c]> is not one of these
44 characters, the behaviour of <<_tolower>> is undefined.
47 <<tolower>> is ANSI C. <<_tolower>> is not recommended for portable programs.
48 <<tolower_l>> is POSIX-1.2008.
50 No supporting OS subroutines are required.
