toascii - convert integer to legal value

&pagelevel(4)&pagelevel

Syntax

#include <ctype.h>

int toascii(int i);

Description

toascii() uses the bitwise AND operator (i & 0XFF) to set the first 3 bytes of an integer
variable i to 0 and returns the value of the least significant byte.

toascii() is a synonym for toebcdic(). On EBCDIC computers, toascii() returns a
legal value from the EBCDIC character set. If portability to ASCII computers is essential,
toascii() should be used.

i is an integer variable whose least-significant byte is to be returned.

Return val.

Value of the least-significant byte of the variable i if successful.on EBCDIC
computers).

Notes

toascii() does not convert values from other character sets (e.g. ASCII on EBCDIC
computers).
