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

PROLOG
       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
       towlower - transliterate uppercase wide-character code to lowercase
SYNOPSIS
       #include <wctype.h>
       wint_t towlower(wint_t wc);

DESCRIPTION
       The towlower() function has 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()
       represents  an uppercase wide-character code, and there exists a corre-
       sponding lowercase wide-character code (as defined  by  character  type
       information in the program locale category LC_CTYPE ), the result shall
       be the corresponding lowercase wide-character code.   All  other  argu-
       ments in the domain are returned unchanged.
RETURN VALUE
       Upon  successful completion, towlower() shall return the lowercase let-
       ter corresponding to the argument passed; otherwise,  it  shall  return
       the argument unchanged.
