Standard C Library Functions                          tolower(3C)



NAME
     tolower - transliterate upper-case characters to lower-case

SYNOPSIS
     #include 

     int tolower(int c);


DESCRIPTION
     The tolower() function has as a domain a type int, the value
     of  which  is representable as an unsigned char or the value
     of EOF. If the argument has any other value, the argument is
     returned  unchanged. If the argument of tolower() represents
     an upper-case  letter,  and  there  exists  a  corresponding
     lower-case  letter (as defined by character type information
     in the program locale category LC_CTYPE),    the  result  is
     the  corresponding lower-case letter. All other arguments in
     the domain are returned unchanged.

RETURN VALUES
     On successful completion, tolower() returns  the  lower-case
     letter  corresponding  to the argument passed. Otherwise, it
     returns the argument unchanged.

ERRORS
     No errors are defined.
