tolower, _tolowerupper case to lower case letter conversion

#include <ctype.h>

int
tolower(int c);

int
_tolower(int c);

The () function converts an upper-case letter to the corresponding lower-case letter. The () function is identical to tolower() except that c must be an upper-case letter.

If the argument to the 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 _tolower() function is an upper-case letter, the corresponding lower-case letter is returned; otherwise the output is undefined.

The tolower() and _tolower() functions conform to ANSI X3.159-1989 (“ANSI C89”).

The argument to tolower must be EOF or representable as an unsigned char; otherwise, the result is undefined.
