ISLOWER(3)              NetBSD 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 letter for which none of
     iscntrl(3), isdigit(3), ispunct(3), or isspace(3) is true.  In the ``C''
     locale, islower() returns true only for the characters defined as lower-
     case letters.


RETURN VALUES

     The islower() macro returns zero if the character tests false and returns
     non-zero if the character tests true.


SEE ALSO

     isalnum(3), isalpha(3), isascii(3), isblank(3), iscntrl(3), isdigit(3),
     isgraph(3), isprint(3), ispunct(3), isspace(3), isupper(3), isxdigit(3),
     stdio(3), toascii(3), tolower(3), toupper(3), ascii(7)


STANDARDS

     The islower() function conforms to ANSI X3.159-1989 (``ANSI C89'').


CAVEATS

     The argument to islower() must be EOF or representable as an unsigned
     char; otherwise, the result is undefined.
