SYNOPSIS

#include <ctype_p.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, tolower
toupper and tolower have as domain range of getc : the integers from -1 through 255. If the argument of toupper represents a lower-case letter, the result is the corresponding upper-case letter. If the argument of tolower represents an upper-case letter, the result is the corresponding lower-case letter. All other arguments in the domain are returned unchanged.

_toupper, _tolower
_toupper and _tolower are macros that accomplish the same thing as toupper and tolower but have restricted domains and are faster. _toupper requires a lower-case letter as its argument; its result is the corresponding upper-case letter. _tolower requires an upper-case letter as its argument; the result is the corresponding lower-case letter. Arguments outside the domain cause garbage results.

toascii
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.
