SYNOPSIS

       #include <ctype.h>

DESCRIPTION

       Some  of the functionality described on this reference page extends the
       ISO C standard. Applications shall define the appropriate feature  test
       macro  (see  the  System  Interfaces  volume  of  IEEE Std 1003.1-2001,
       Section 2.2, The Compilation Environment) to enable the  visibility  of
       these symbols in this header.

       The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
       macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.

              int   isalnum(int);
              int   isalpha(int);

              int   isascii(int);

              int   isblank(int);
              int   iscntrl(int);
              int   isdigit(int);
              int   isgraph(int);
              int   islower(int);
              int   isprint(int);
              int   ispunct(int);
              int   isspace(int);
              int   isupper(int);
              int   isxdigit(int);

              int   toascii(int);

              int   tolower(int);
              int   toupper(int);

       The following are defined as macros:

              int   _toupper(int);
              int   _tolower(int);

       The following sections are informative.
