tolower()                Convert 'c' To Lowercase, If Appropriate
 
 #include   <ctype.h>
 
 int        tolower(c);
 int        c;                           Character to be converted
 
    The tolower() macro converts 'c' to lowercase if 'c' is an uppercase
    letter. If not, it remains unchanged.
 
    Returns:    The converted character 'c'. There is no error return.
 
      Notes:    tolower() is a macro.  Since tolower() does not correctly
                handle 'c' arguments with side effects, the library
                contains a function version. The function version may be
                used if the definition of tolower() is removed using
                #undef or if the header <ctype.h> is not included at all.
                The function tolower() is declared in <stdlib.h>.
 
  -------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------
 
    The following statements convert strings to lowercase before printing
    them.
 
         #include <ctype.h>
         #include <stdio.h>
 
         char string[15] = "ALPHABET SOUP";
         int x;
 
         main()
         {
             for (x = 0; x < strlen(string); x++)
                 printf("%c",tolower(string[x]));
             printf("\n");
         }
