TOWLOWER(R)         Linux Programmer's Manual         TOWLOWER(R)



NAME
       towlower - convert a wide character to lowercase

SYNOPSIS
       #include <wctype.h>

       wint_t towlower(wint_t wc);

DESCRIPTION
       The  towlower function is the wide-character equivalent of
       the tolower function. If wc is a  wide  character,  it  is
       converted  to lowercase. Characters which do not have case
       are returned unchanged.  If wc is WEOF, WEOF is  returned.

RETURN VALUE
       The  towlower function returns the lowercase equivalent of
       wc, or WEOF if wc is WEOF.

CONFORMING TO
       ISO/ANSI C, UNIX98

       towupper(r), towctrans(s), iswlower(r)

NOTES
       The behaviour of towlower depends on the LC_CTYPE category
       of the current locale.

       This  function  is  not  very appropriate for dealing with
       Unicode characters,  because  Unicode  knows  about  three
       cases: upper, lower and title case.
