toascii - convert character to ASCII
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
#include <ctype.h> [[deprecated]] int toascii(int c); Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)): toascii(): _XOPEN_SOURCE || /* glibc >= 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE || /* glibc <= 2.19: */ _SVID_SOURCE || _BSD_SOURCE
toascii() converts c to a 7-bit unsigned char value that fits into the ASCII character set, by clearing the high-order bits.
The value returned is that of the converted character.
