.SH DESCRIPTION
|
2005-10-19 06:54:38 +00:00
|
|
|
The \fBtowlower\fP() function is the wide-character equivalent of the
|
2005-10-19 08:35:30 +00:00
|
|
|
\fBtolower\fP() function. If \fIwc\fP is a wide character, it is converted to
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
lowercase. Characters which do not have case are returned unchanged.
|
|
|
|
If \fIwc\fP is WEOF, WEOF is returned.
|
|
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
2005-10-19 06:54:38 +00:00
|
|
|
The \fBtowlower\fP() function returns the lowercase equivalent of \fIwc\fP,
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
or WEOF if \fIwc\fP is WEOF.

.SH NOTES
|
2005-10-19 06:54:38 +00:00
|
|
|
The behaviour of \fBtowlower\fP() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
current locale.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
This function is not very appropriate for dealing with Unicode characters,
|
|
|
|
because Unicode knows about three cases: upper, lower and title case.
