       Character operations.






       val code : char -> int

       Return the ASCII code of the argument.



       val chr : int -> char

       Return the character with the given ASCII code.


       Raises Invalid_argument if the argument is outside the range 0--255.



       val escaped : char -> string

       Return a string representing the given character, with special
       characters escaped following the lexical conventions of OCaml.  All
       characters outside the ASCII printable range (32..126) are escaped, as
       well as backslash, double-quote, and single-quote.



       val lowercase_ascii : char -> char

       Convert the given character to its equivalent lowercase character,
       using the US-ASCII character set.


       Since 4.03



       val uppercase_ascii : char -> char

       Convert the given character to its equivalent uppercase character,
       using the US-ASCII character set.


       Since 4.03


       type t = char


       An alias for the type of characters.



       val compare : t -> t -> int

       The comparison function for characters, with the same specification as
       compare .  Along with the type t , this function compare allows the
       module Char to be passed as argument to the functors Set.Make and
       Map.Make .



       val equal : t -> t -> bool

       The equal function for chars.


       Since 4.03



       val seeded_hash : int -> t -> int

       A seeded hash function for characters, with the same output value as
       Hashtbl.seeded_hash . This function allows this module to be passed as
       argument to the functor Hashtbl.MakeSeeded .


       Since 5.1



       val hash : t -> int

       An unseeded hash function for characters, with the same output value as
       Hashtbl.hash . This function allows this module to be passed as
       argument to the functor Hashtbl.Make .


       Since 5.1
