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

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

33 This function is not very appropriate for dealing with Unicode charac‐
34 ters, because Unicode knows about three cases: upper, lower and title
35 case.
