The .Fn _tolower function is identical to .Fn tolower except that .Ar c must be an upper-case letter. .Sh RETURN VALUES If the argument to the .Fn tolower function is an upper-case letter, the corresponding lower-case letter is returned if there is one; otherwise the argument is returned unchanged. If the argument to the .Fn _tolower function is an upper-case letter, the corresponding lower-case letter is returned; otherwise the output is undefined. .\" In the .\" .Em ``C'' .\" locale, .\" .Fn tolower .\" maps only the characters for which .\" .Xr isupper .\" is true to the corresponding characters for which .\" .Xr islower .\" is true. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr isalnum 3 , .Xr isalpha 3 , .Xr isascii 3 , .Xr isblank 3 , .Xr iscntrl 3 , .Xr isdigit 3 , .Xr isgraph 3 , .Xr islower 3 , .Xr isprint 3 , .Xr ispunct 3 , .Xr isspace 3 , .Xr isupper 3 , .Xr isxdigit 3 , .Xr stdio 3 , .Xr toascii 3 , .Xr toupper 3 , .Xr ascii 7 .Sh STANDARDS The .Fn tolower and .Fn _tolower functions conform to .St -ansiC .
