DESCRIPTION

14       The  towlower()  function  is  the  wide-character  equivalent  of  the
15       tolower(3) function.  If wc is a wide character,  it  is  converted  to
16       lowercase.   Characters  which do not have case are returned unchanged.
17       If wc is WEOF, WEOF is returned.
18

RETURN VALUE

20       The towlower() function returns the lowercase equivalent of wc, or WEOF
21       if wc is WEOF.
22

CONFORMING TO

24       C99.

NOTES

27       The behavior of towlower() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the cur‐
28       rent locale.
29
30       This function is not very appropriate for dealing with Unicode  charac‐
31       ters,  because  Unicode knows about three cases: upper, lower and title
32       case.
