+.Sh NAME
+.Nm tolower
+.Nd upper case to lower case letter conversion
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In ctype.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn tolower "int c"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn tolower
+function converts an upper-case letter to the corresponding lower-case
+letter.
+The argument must be representable as an
+.Vt "unsigned char"
+or the value of
+.Dv EOF .
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+If the argument is an upper-case letter, the
+.Fn tolower
+function returns the corresponding lower-case letter if there is
+one; otherwise, the argument is returned unchanged.
+.Sh COMPATIBILITY
+The
+.Bx 4.4
+extension of accepting arguments outside of the range of the
+.Vt "unsigned char"
+type in locales with large character sets is considered obsolete
+and may not be supported in future releases.
+The
+.Fn towlower
+function should be used instead.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr ctype 3 ,
+.Xr islower 3 ,
+.Xr towlower 3
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Fn tolower
+function conforms to
+.St -isoC .
