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() function returns zero if the character tests false and
     returns non-zero if the character tests true.

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 behavior is undefined.  See the CAVEATS section of
     ctype(3) for more details.
