DESCRIPTION

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

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