ISLOWER(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual ISLOWER(3)
NAME
islower, islower_l - lower-case single-byte character test
SYNOPSIS
#include <ctype.h>
int
islower(int c);
int
islower_l(int c, locale_t locale);
DESCRIPTION
The islower() and islower_l() functions test whether c represents a
lower-case letter.
In the C locale, the complete list of lower-case letters is a-z. OpenBSD
always uses the C locale for these functions, ignoring the global locale,
the thread-specific locale, and the locale argument.
RETURN VALUES
These functions return zero if the character tests false or non-zero if
the character tests true.
ENVIRONMENT
On systems supporting non-ASCII single-byte character encodings, these
functions may return non-zero for additional characters, and the results
of islower() may depend on the LC_CTYPE locale(1), but they never return
non-zero for any character for which iscntrl(3), isdigit(3), ispunct(3),
or isspace(3) is 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), iswlower(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"), and
islower_l() to IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 ("POSIX.1").
HISTORY
The islower() function first appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX, AND
islower_l() has been available since OpenBSD 6.2.
CAVEATS
The argument c must be EOF or representable as an unsigned char;
otherwise, the result is undefined.
