NAME
       toascii - convert character to ASCII


SYNOPSIS
       #include <ctype.h>

       int toascii(int c);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       toascii(): _XOPEN_SOURCE
           || /* Glibc since 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
           || /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _SVID_SOURCE || _BSD_SOURCE


DESCRIPTION
       toascii()  converts  c to a 7-bit unsigned char value that fits into the ASCII character set, by clearing
       the high-order bits.


RETURN VALUE

CONFORMING TO
       SVr4, BSD, POSIX.1-2001.  POSIX.1-2008 marks toascii()  as  obsolete,  noting  that  it  cannot  be  used
       portably in a localized application.


BUGS
       Many  people  will be unhappy if you use this function.  This function will convert accented letters into
       random characters.
