ISLOWER(3)                 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
