NAME

       wctrans_ja - Wide character conversion for the Japanese locale

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wchar.h>

       wctrans_t wctrans(const char *property);

DESCRIPTION

       wctrans()  builds  values in wctrans_t data type according to the specification with the property argument to allow conversion between wide
       characters.  towctrans() is used for actual conversion.	wctrans() returns arguments that towctrans() needs to use.

       The following character class names are defined in every locale.

		 tolower

		 toupper

       In addition to the above, the Japanese locale (ja, ja_JP.PCK and ja_JP.UTF-8) defines the following character classes specific to the Japa-
       nese locale.

		 tojhira

		 tojkata

		 tojisx0208

		 tojisx0201

       These  can be also used as property arguments to wctrans().  However, the use of these classes are limited to applications for the Japanese
       locale only.

       tolower	       Specifies conversion to lowercase alphabet wide characters.

       toupper	       Specifies conversion to uppercase alphabet wide characters.

       tojhira	       Specifies conversion of JIS X 0208 Katakana to Hiragana.

       tojkata	       Specifies conversion of JIS X 0208 Hiragana to Katakana.

       tojisx0208      Specifies conversion of JIS X 0201 Roman character graphic set or Katakana character graphic set to the	associated  JIS  X
		       0208 characters.

       tojisx0201      Specifies  conversion of JIS X 0208 characters to the associated JIS X 0201 Roman character graphic set or Katakana charac-
		       ter graphic set.
