NAME
2.6 `islower'--lower-case character predicate
SYNOPSIS
#include <ctype.h>
int islower(int C);
DESCRIPTION
`islower' is a macro which classifies ASCII integer values by table
lookup. It is a predicate returning non-zero for minuscules
(lower-case alphabetic characters), and 0 for other characters. It is
defined only when `isascii'(C) is true or C is EOF.
You can use a compiled subroutine instead of the macro definition by
undefining the macro using ``#undef islower''.
RETURNS
`islower' returns non-zero if C is a lower case letter (`a'-`z').
PORTABILITY
`islower' is ANSI C.
No supporting OS subroutines are required.
