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.1‐2017 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 locale used by the
       function 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.
