 The

+macros are wrappers around the corresponding standard
+.B <ctype.h>
+macros with the corresponding lowercase names.  They take care of

+this conversion is necessary on platforms with signed

+The

+macros are wrappers around the standard

+additional argument
+.I op
+which is a equality or ordering operator (e.g.,
+.B ==
+or
+.BR > )
+inserted between the two operands.  The standard functions return a
+false value if and only if the operands are equal, which is
+counterintuitive and leads to mistakes; requiring an explicit relational
+operator should reduce the number of such mistakes.
+.PP
+The
 .B DISCARD
 macro discards its argument, which must be of some scalar type.  This
 can be useful in muffling warnings about ignoring return codes in cases
