     Name
          strlwr - Converts all letters in a string to lowercase.

     Syntax
          #include <string.h>

          char *strlwr(string)
          char *string;

     Description
          The strlwr function converts any uppercase letters in the
          given null-terminated string to lowercase. Other characters
          are not affected.

     Notes
          The strlwr function is not part of the ANSI definition, but
          is instead a Microsoft extension to it, and should not be
          used where ANSI portability is desired.

     Return Value
          strlwr returns a pointer to the converted string.

     Example
          #include <string.h> #include <stdio.h>

          char string[100] = "This Was a Mixed-Case String"; char
          *copy; main()
           {
                  copy = strlwr(strdup(string));
                  printf("The result string is: %s\n",copy);
           } This program duplicates a string named string, then uses
          strlwr to convert all uppercase letters in the copy to
          lowercase.
