NAME         top

       wctrans - wide-character translation mapping

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <wctype.h>

       wctrans_t wctrans(const char *name);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The wctrans_t type represents a mapping which can map a wide character to
       another wide character.  Its nature is implementation-dependent, but the
       special value (wctrans_t) 0 denotes an invalid mapping.  Nonzero wctrans_t
       values can be passed to the towctrans(3) function to actually perform the
       wide-character mapping.

       The wctrans() function returns a mapping, given by its name.  The set of valid
       names depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale, but the
       following names are valid in all locales.
         "tolower" - realizes the tolower(3) mapping
         "toupper" - realizes the toupper(3) mapping

RETURN VALUE         top

       The wctrans() function returns a mapping descriptor if the name is valid.
       Otherwise it returns (wctrans_t) 0.

CONFORMING TO         top

       C99.

NOTES         top

       The behavior of wctrans() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current
       locale.
