tolower


Description:

public char tolower ()

Convert a character to ASCII lower case.

If the character is not an ASCII upper case letter, it is returned unchanged.

Unlike the standard C library `tolower()` function, this only recognizes standard ASCII letters and ignores the locale, returning all non-ASCII characters unchanged, even if they are lower case letters in a particular character set. Also unlike the standard library function, this takes and returns a char, not an int, so don't call it on `EOF` but no need to worry about casting to `guchar` before passing a possibly non-ASCII character in.

Parameters:

c

any character

Returns:

the result of the conversion
