.SH NAME
|
|
wctrans \- wide-character translation mapping
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
.B #include <wctype.h>
|
|
.sp
|
|
.BI "wctrans_t wctrans(const char *" name );
|
|
.fi
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The \fIwctrans_t\fP type represents a mapping
|
|
which can map a wide character to
|
|
another wide character.
|
|
Its nature is implementation-dependent, but the special
|
|
value \fI(wctrans_t)\ 0\fP denotes an invalid mapping.
|
|
Non-zero \fIwctrans_t\fP
|
|
values can be passed to the
|
|
.BR towctrans (3)
|
|
function to actually perform
|
|
the wide-character mapping.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.BR wctrans ()
|
|
function returns a mapping, given by its name.
|
|
The set of
|
|
valid names depends on the
|
|
.B LC_CTYPE
|
|
category of the current locale, but the
|
|
following names are valid in all locales.
|
|
.nf
|
|
"tolower" \- realizes the \fBtolower\fP(3) mapping
|
|
"toupper" \- realizes the \fBtoupper\fP(3) mapping
|
|
.fi
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
The
|
|
.BR wctrans ()
|
|
function returns a mapping descriptor if the \fIname\fP
|
|
is valid.
|
|
Otherwise it returns \fI(wctrans_t) 0\fP.
|

|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
The behavior of
|
|
.BR wctrans ()
|
|
depends on the
|
|
.B LC_CTYPE
|
|
category of the
|
|
current locale.
