TOWLOWER(3) Linux Programmer's Manual TOWLOWER(3)NAME
towlower - convert a wide character to lowercase
SYNOPSIS
#include <wctype.h>
wint_t towlower(wint_t wc);
DESCRIPTION
The towlower() function is the wide-character equivalent of the
tolower(3) function. If wc is a wide character, it is converted to
lowercase. Characters which do not have case are returned unchanged.
If wc is WEOF, WEOF is returned.
RETURN VALUE
The towlower() function returns the lowercase equivalent of wc, or WEOF
if wc is WEOF.
CONFORMING TO
C99.
NOTES
The behavior of towlower() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the cur‐
rent locale.
This function is not very appropriate for dealing with Unicode charac‐
ters, because Unicode knows about three cases: upper, lower and title
case.
