NAME

SYNOPSIS
#include <ctype.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 and tolower have as domain the range of getc(3s):
the integers from -1 through 255. If the argument of
toupper represents a lowercase letter, the result is the
corresponding uppercase letter. If the argument of tolower
represents an uppercase letter, the result is the
corresponding lowercase letter. All other arguments in the
domain are returned unchanged.
_toupper and _tolower are macros that accomplish the same
thing as toupper and tolower but have restricted domains and
are faster. _toupper requires a lowercase letter as its
argument; its result is the corresponding uppercase letter.
_tolower requires an uppercase letter as its argument; its
result is the corresponding lowercase letter. Arguments
outside the domain cause undefined results.
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.
