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.
