Why does that function say its return int * when it is in fact returning char * ?

For example:

  char *title[ 20 ];

char *title[ 20 ];

This is not a pointer to a string. It isn't the same that char *title = string, where string is a char string[20];

char *title[ 20 ] is an array of pointers. Meaning you are declaring 20 char *title, and
each one can point to a different string or a char happy_string[].

Therefore:

title[ ++i ] = *cPtr;

title[ ++i ] = *cPtr;

will never work.

Neither

title[p] = tolower( title[ p ] );

title[p] = tolower( title[ p ] );

The function tolower acepts an integer as a parameter and you are passing to it a char * pointer to a string.
