NAME

12       towlower - transliterate uppercase wide-character code to lowercase
13

SYNOPSIS

15       #include <wctype.h>
16
17       wint_t towlower(wint_t wc);

19

DESCRIPTION

21       The towlower() function has as a domain a type  wint_t,  the  value  of
22       which  the  application  shall ensure is a character representable as a
23       wchar_t, and a wide-character code corresponding to a  valid  character
24       in  the  current  locale  or the value of WEOF. If the argument has any
25       other value, the behavior is undefined. If the argument  of  towlower()
26       represents  an uppercase wide-character code, and there exists a corre‐
27       sponding lowercase wide-character code (as defined  by  character  type
28       information in the program locale category LC_CTYPE ), the result shall
29       be the corresponding lowercase wide-character code.   All  other  argu‐
30       ments in the domain are returned unchanged.
31

RETURN VALUE

33       Upon  successful completion, towlower() shall return the lowercase let‐
34       ter corresponding to the argument passed; otherwise,  it  shall  return
35       the argument unchanged.
