NAME

towlower - convert a wide character to lowercase

SYNOPSIS

#include <wctype.h>
 I wint_t towlower(wint_t  wc );

DESCRIPTION

The R towlower () function is the wide-character equivalent of the tolower(3) 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 R towlower () function returns the lowercase equivalent of wc, or WEOF if wc is WEOF.

CONFORMING TO

C99.

NOTES

The behavior of R 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.
