WCTRANS(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual WCTRANS(3P)
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.
wctrans, wctrans_l — define character mapping
#include <wctype.h>
wctrans_t wctrans(const char *charclass);
wctrans_t wctrans_l(const char *charclass, locale_t locale);
For wctrans(): 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 wctrans() and wctrans_l() functions are defined for valid
character mapping names identified in the current locale. The
charclass is a string identifying a generic character mapping name
for which codeset-specific information is required. The following
character mapping names are defined in all locales: tolower and
toupper.
These functions shall return a value of type wctrans_t, which can be
used as the second argument to subsequent calls of towctrans() and
towctrans_l().
The wctrans() and wctrans_l() functions shall determine values of
wctrans_t according to the rules of the coded character set defined
by character mapping information in the current locale or in the
locale represented by locale, respectively (category LC_CTYPE).
The values returned by wctrans() shall be valid until a call to
setlocale() that modifies the category LC_CTYPE.
The values returned by wctrans_l() shall be valid only in calls to
towctrans_l() with a locale represented by locale with the same
LC_CTYPE category value.
The behavior is undefined if the locale argument to wctrans_l() is
the special locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid locale
object handle.
The wctrans() and wctrans_l() functions shall return 0 and may set
errno to indicate the error if the given character mapping name is
not valid for the current locale (category LC_CTYPE); otherwise, they
shall return a non-zero object of type wctrans_t that can be used in
calls to towctrans() and towctrans_l().
These functions may fail if:
EINVAL The character mapping name pointed to by charclass is not
valid in the current locale.
