ISLOWER(3)	      DragonFly 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 letters.  For single C
     chars locales the value of the argument is representable as an unsigned
     char or the value of EOF.	In the ASCII character set, this includes the
     following characters (with their numeric values shown in octal):

     141 ``a''	   142 ``b''	 143 ``c''     144 ``d''     145 ``e''
     146 ``f''	   147 ``g''	 150 ``h''     151 ``i''     152 ``j''
     153 ``k''	   154 ``l''	 155 ``m''     156 ``n''     157 ``o''
     160 ``p''	   161 ``q''	 162 ``r''     163 ``s''     164 ``t''
     165 ``u''	   166 ``v''	 167 ``w''     170 ``x''     171 ``y''
     172 ``z''

RETURN VALUES
     The islower() function returns zero if the character tests false and
     returns non-zero if the character tests true.

SEE ALSO
