SYNOPSIS

     #include <ctype.h>

     int
     toascii(int c);

DESCRIPTION

     The toascii() function returns the argument with all but the lower 7 bits cleared.

RETURN VALUES

     The toascii() function always returns a valid ASCII character.  The result is a non-negative integer in the range from 0 to 127, inclusive.

SEE ALSO

     ctype(3), isalnum(3), isalpha(3), isascii(3), iscntrl(3), isdigit(3), isgraph(3), islower(3), isprint(3), ispunct(3), isspace(3), isupper(3),

STANDARDS

     The toascii() function conforms to X/Open Portability Guide Issue 4 (``XPG4'') and IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').  The IEEE Std
     1003.1-2008 (``POSIX.1'') revision however marked it as obsolete, noting that toascii() cannot be used portably in a localized application.
