NAME

       towlower, towupper - Convert uppercase and lowercase wide characters

LIBRARY

       Standard C Library (libc)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wctype.h>

       wint_t towlower (      wint_t wc);

       wint_t towupper (      wint_t wc);

STANDARDS

       Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:

       towlower(), towupper(): XSH5.0

       Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.

PARAMETERS

       Specifies the wide character to convert.

DESCRIPTION

       The  towlower()	function converts the uppercase wide character specified by the wc parameter into the corresponding lowercase wide charac-
       ter. The towupper() function converts the lowercase wide character specified by the wc parameter  into  the  corresponding  uppercase  wide
       character. The behavior of the towlower() and towupper() functions are affected by the LC_CTYPE category of the program's locale.

       [Tru64  UNIX]  In  a locale where case conversion information is not defined, these functions determine the case of characters according to
       the rules of the C locale.

RETURN VALUES

       In the towlower() function, if the wc parameter contains an uppercase wide character that has a	corresponding  lowercase  wide	character,
       that wide character is returned. Otherwise, the wc parameter is returned unchanged.

       In the towupper() function, if the wc parameter contains a lowercase wide character that has a corresponding uppercase wide character, that
       wide character is returned. Otherwise, the wc parameter is returned unchanged.
