NAME
towlower, towlower_l -- upper case to lower case letter conversion (wide character version)
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <wctype.h>
wint_t
towlower(wint_t wc);
#include <wctype.h>

wint_t
towlower_l(wint_t wc, locale_t loc);
DESCRIPTION

information.

If the argument is an upper-case letter, the towlower() function returns the corresponding lower-case letter if there is one; otherwise, the
argument is returned unchanged.
SEE ALSO
