SYNOPSIS
     #include <ctype.h>

     int
     digittoint(int c);

     int
     isalnum(int c);

     int
     isalpha(int c);

     int
     isascii(int c);

     int
     iscntrl(int c);

     int
     isdigit(int c);

     int

     int
     ishexnumber(int c);

     int
     isideogram(int c);

     int
     islower(int c);

     int

DESCRIPTION
     The above functions perform character tests and conversions on the inte-ger integer
     ger c.  They are available as macros, defined in the include file
     <ctype.h>, or as true functions in the C library.  See the specific man-ual manual
     ual pages for more information.

     Extended locale versions of these functions are documented in ctype_l(3).
     See xlocale(3) for more information.
