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.

.SH NAME

towlower,

towlower_l

\(em transliterate uppercase wide-character code to lowercase

.SH SYNOPSIS

.LP

.nf

#include <wctype.h>

wint_t towlower(wint_t \fIwc\fP);

wint_t towlower_l(wint_t \fIwc\fP, locale_t \fIlocale\fP);

.SH DESCRIPTION

For

\fItowlower\fR():

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\(hy2008 defers to the ISO\ C standard.

.P

The

\fItowlower\fR()

and

\fItowlower_l\fR()

functions have as a domain a type

.BR wint_t ,

the value of which the application shall ensure is a character

representable as a

.BR 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

\fItowlower\fR()

or

\fItowlower_l\fR()

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

.IR locale ,

respectively (category

.IR LC_CTYPE ),

the result shall be the corresponding lowercase wide-character code.

All other arguments in the domain are returned unchanged.

.P

The behavior is undefined if the

.IR locale

argument to

\fItowlower_l\fR()

is the special locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid locale

object handle.

.SH "RETURN VALUE"

Upon successful completion, the

\fItowlower\fR()

and

\fItowlower_l\fR()

functions shall return the lowercase letter corresponding to the

argument passed; otherwise, they shall return the argument unchanged.

.SH ERRORS
