     islower, isnumber, isphonogram, isprint, ispunct, isrune, isspace, isspecial, isupper, isxdigit,
     toascii, tolower, toupper -- character classification macros

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <ctype.h>

     int
     digittoint(int c);

     int
     isalnum(int c);

     int
     isalpha(int c);

     int
     isascii(int c);

     int
     iscntrl(int c);

     int
     isdigit(int c);

     int
     isgraph(int c);

     int
     ishexnumber(int c);

     int
     isideogram(int c);

     int
     islower(int c);

     int
     isnumber(int c);

     int
     isphonogram(int c);

     int
     isspecial(int c);

     int
     isprint(int c);

     int
     ispunct(int c);

     int
     isrune(int c);

     int
     isspace(int c);

     int
     isupper(int c);

     int
     isxdigit(int c);

     int
     toascii(int c);

     int
     tolower(int c);

     int
     toupper(int c);

DESCRIPTION
     The above functions perform character tests and conversions on the integer c.  They are available as
     macros, defined in the include file <ctype.h>, or as true functions in the C library.  See the specific
     manual pages for more information.

     Extended locale versions of these functions are documented in ctype_l(3).  See xlocale(3) for more
     information.
