characters
SYNOPSIS
#include <ctype.h>
int toupper (c)
int c;
int tolower (c)
int c;
int toupper (c)
int c;
int tolower (c)
int c;
int toascii (c)
int c;
DESCRIPTION
Toupper and tolower have as domain the range of getc(3s):
the integers from -1 through 255. If the argument of
toupper represents a lowercase letter, the result is the
corresponding uppercase letter. If the argument of tolower
represents an uppercase letter, the result is the
corresponding lowercase letter. All other arguments in the
domain are returned unchanged.
toupper and tolower are macros that accomplish the same
thing as toupper and tolower but have restricted domains and
are faster. toupper requires a lowercase letter as its
argument; its result is the corresponding uppercase letter.
tolower requires an uppercase letter as its argument; its
result is the corresponding lowercase letter. Arguments
outside the domain cause undefined results.
Toascii yields its argument with all bits turned off that
are not part of a standard ASCII character; it is intended
for compatibility with other systems.
