   5 NAME
   6        tolower, tolower_l - transliterate upper-case characters to lower-case
   7 
   8 SYNOPSIS
   9        #include <ctype.h>
  10 
  11        int tolower(int c);
  12 
  13        int tolower_l(int c, locale_t loc);
  14 
  15 
  16 DESCRIPTION
  17        The tolower() function has as a domain a type int, the value of which
  18        is representable as an unsigned char or the value of EOF. If the
  19        argument has any other value, the argument is returned unchanged. If
  20        the argument of tolower() represents an upper-case letter, and there
  21        exists a corresponding lower-case letter (as defined by character type
  22        information in the locale category LC_CTYPE),  the result is the
  23        corresponding lower-case letter. All other arguments in the domain are
  24        returned unchanged.
  25 
  26        The function tolower_l() behaves identically to tolower(), except
  27        instead of operating in the current locale, it operates in the locale
  28        specified by loc.

  30 RETURN VALUES
  31        On successful completion, tolower() returns the lower-case letter
  32        corresponding to the argument passed. Otherwise, it returns the
  33        argument unchanged.
  34 
  35 ERRORS
  36        No errors are defined.

   5 NAME
   6        tolower, tolower_l - transliterate upper-case characters to lower-case
   7 
   8 SYNOPSIS
   9        #include <ctype.h>
  10 
  11        int tolower(int c);
  12 
  13        int tolower_l(int c, locale_t loc);

  16 DESCRIPTION
  17        The tolower() function has as a domain of type int, the value of which
  18        is representable as an unsigned char or the value of EOF. If the
  19        argument has any other value, the argument is returned unchanged. If
  20        the argument of tolower() represents an upper-case letter, and there
  21        exists a corresponding lower-case letter (as defined by character type
  22        information in the locale category LC_CTYPE),  the result is the
  23        corresponding lower-case letter. All other arguments in the domain are
  24        returned unchanged.
  25 
  26        The function tolower_l() behaves identically to tolower(), except
  27        instead of operating in the current locale, it operates in the locale
  28        specified by loc.
  29 
  30        A macro form, _tolower() exists. It is defined for standards
  31        conformance, particularly with legacy standards. It was deprecated in
  32        POSIX 2008 (Issue 7), and its use is discouraged. The macro, on this
  33        system, is just an alias for tolower().
  34 
  35 RETURN VALUES
  36        On successful completion, tolower() returns the lower-case letter
  37        corresponding to the argument passed. Otherwise, it returns the
  38        argument unchanged.
