PROLOG

6       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux

NAME

13       iswlower, iswlower_l — test for a lowercase letter wide-character code
14

SYNOPSIS

16       #include <wctype.h>
17
18       int iswlower(wint_t wc);
19       int iswlower_l(wint_t wc, locale_t locale);
20

DESCRIPTION

22       For iswlower(): The functionality described on this reference  page  is
23       aligned  with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements
24       described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume  of
25       POSIX.1‐2008 defers to the ISO C standard.
26
27       The  iswlower()  and  iswlower_l() functions shall test whether wc is a
28       wide-character code representing a character of class lower in the cur‐
29       rent  locale, or in the locale represented by locale, respectively; see
30       the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2008, Chapter 7, Locale.
31
32       The wc argument is a wint_t, the value of which the  application  shall
33       ensure  is  a wide-character code corresponding to a valid character in
34       the current locale, or equal to the value of the  macro  WEOF.  If  the
35       argument has any other value, the behavior is undefined.
36
37       The behavior is undefined if the locale argument to iswlower_l() is the
38       special locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid locale  object
39       handle.
40

RETURN VALUE

42       The  iswlower()  and iswlower_l() functions shall return non-zero if wc
43       is a lowercase letter wide-character code; otherwise, they shall return
44       0.

58       tion.
