SYNOPSIS

9       #include <wctype.h>
10
11       wint_t towlower(wint_t wc);

DESCRIPTION

15       The  towlower()  function  has  as a domain a type wint_t, the value of
16       which the application shall ensure is a character  representable  as  a
17       wchar_t,  and  a wide-character code corresponding to a valid character
18       in the current locale or the value of WEOF. If  the  argument  has  any
19       other  value,  the behavior is undefined. If the argument of towlower()
20       represents an uppercase wide-character code, and there exists a  corre‐
21       sponding  lowercase  wide-character  code (as defined by character type
22       information in the program locale category LC_CTYPE ), the result shall
23       be  the  corresponding  lowercase wide-character code.  All other argu‐
24       ments in the domain are returned unchanged.
25

RETURN VALUE

27       Upon successful completion, towlower() shall return the lowercase  let‐
28       ter  corresponding  to  the argument passed; otherwise, it shall return
29       the argument unchanged.
