islower---lower-case character predicate

Synopsis
#include <ctype.h>
int islower(int c);

Description
islower is a macro which classifies ASCII integer values by table lookup. It is a predicate returning non-zero for minuscules (lower-case alphabetic characters), and 0 for other characters. It is defined only when isascii(c) is true or c is EOF.

You can use a compiled subroutine instead of the macro definition by undefining the macro using `#undef islower'.


Returns
islower returns non-zero if c is a lower case letter (a--z).


Portability
islower is ANSI C.

No supporting OS subroutines are required.
