int tolower_l(int c, locale_t loc);
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 locale category LC_CTYPE), the result is the

--- 25,39 ----
The function tolower_l() behaves identically to tolower(), except
instead of operating in the current locale, it operates in the locale
specified by loc.
+ A macro form, _tolower() exists. It is defined for standards
+ conformance, particularly with legacy standards. It was deprecated in
+ POSIX 2008 (Issue 7), and its use is discouraged. The macro, on this
+ system, is just an alias for tolower().

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