ISLOWER(3) BSD Library Functions Manual ISLOWER(3) NAME islower -- lower-case character test LIBRARY Standard C Library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS #include <ctype.h> int islower(int c); DESCRIPTION The islower() function tests for any lower-case letters. The value of the argument must be representable as an unsigned char or the value of EOF. In the ASCII character set, this includes the following characters (with their numeric values shown in octal): 141 ``a'' 142 ``b'' 143 ``c'' 144 ``d'' 145 ``e'' 146 ``f'' 147 ``g'' 150 ``h'' 151 ``i'' 152 ``j'' 153 ``k'' 154 ``l'' 155 ``m'' 156 ``n'' 157 ``o'' 160 ``p'' 161 ``q'' 162 ``r'' 163 ``s'' 164 ``t'' 165 ``u'' 166 ``v'' 167 ``w'' 170 ``x'' 171 ``y'' 172 ``z'' RETURN VALUES The islower() function returns zero if the character tests false and re- turns non-zero if the character tests true. COMPATIBILITY The 4.4BSD extension of accepting arguments outside of the range of the unsigned char type in locales with large character sets is considered ob- solete and may not be supported in future releases. The iswlower() func- tion should be used instead. SEE ALSO ctype(3), iswlower(3), tolower(3), ascii(7) STANDARDS The islower() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1990 ("ISO C90").
