TOWLOWER(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 					       TOWLOWER(3)

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> #include <xlocale.h> wint_t towlower_l(wint_t wc, locale_t loc); DESCRIPTION
The towlower() function converts an upper-case letter to the corresponding lower-case letter. Although the towlower() function uses the current locale, the towlower_l() function may be passed a locale directly. See xlocale(3) for more information. RETURN VALUES

iswlower(3), tolower(3), towupper(3), wctrans(3), xlocale(3) STANDARDS
The towlower() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (``ISO C99''). BSD
