TOWLOWER(3)                   Linux Programmer's Manual                   TOWLOWER(3)

NAME         top

       towlower - convert a wide character to lowercase

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <wctype.h>

       wint_t towlower(wint_t wc);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The 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         top

       The towlower() function returns the lowercase equivalent of wc, or WEOF if wc
       is WEOF.

CONFORMING TO         top

       C99.

NOTES         top

       The behavior 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.
