       Module Char
        : (module Stdlib__Char)

       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
