and not just unsigned char's, callers should use towupper() and towlower() instead when working with wide characters if portability is a concern.

.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In ctype.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn tolower "int c"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn tolower
|
|
function converts an upper-case letter to the corresponding lower-case
|
|
letter.
|
|
For single C
|
|
.Va char Ns s
|
|
locales (see
|
|
.Xr multibyte 3 )
|
|
the value of the argument is
|
|
representable as an
|
|
.Li unsigned char
|
|
or the value of
|
|
.Dv EOF .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If the argument is an upper-case letter, the
|
|
.Fn tolower
|
|
function returns the corresponding lower-case letter if there is
|
|
one; otherwise the argument is returned unchanged.
|
|
.Sh COMPATIBILITY
|
|
Although
|
|
.Fn tolower
|
|
accepts arguments outside of the range of the
|
|
.Vt "unsigned char"
|
|
type in locales with large character sets,
|
|
this is a
|
|
.Bx 4.4
|
|
extension and the
|
|
.Fn towlower
|
|
function should be used instead for maximum portability.

|
|
.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn tolower
|
|
function conforms to
|
|
.St -isoC .
