TOWLOWER(3P)              POSIX Programmer's Manual             TOWLOWER(3P)

PROLOG         top

       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
       the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       towlower, towlower_l — transliterate uppercase wide-character code to
       lowercase

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <wctype.h>
       wint_t towlower(wint_t wc);
       wint_t towlower_l(wint_t wc, locale_t locale);

DESCRIPTION         top

       For towlower(): The functionality described on this reference page is
       aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the
       requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional.
       This volume of POSIX.1‐2008 defers to the ISO C standard.
       The towlower() and towlower_l() functions have as a domain a type
       wint_t, the value of which the application shall ensure is a
       character representable as a wchar_t, and a wide-character code
       corresponding to a valid character in the current locale or the value
       of WEOF.  If the argument has any other value, the behavior is
       undefined.  If the argument of towlower() or towlower_l() represents
       an uppercase wide-character code, and there exists a corresponding
       lowercase wide-character code as defined by character type
       information in the current locale or in the locale represented by
       locale, respectively (category LC_CTYPE), the result shall be the
       corresponding lowercase wide-character code.  All other arguments in
       the domain are returned unchanged.
       The behavior is undefined if the locale argument to towlower_l() is
       the special locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid locale
       object handle.

RETURN VALUE         top

       Upon successful completion, the towlower() and towlower_l() functions
       shall return the lowercase letter corresponding to the argument
       passed; otherwise, they shall return the argument unchanged.
