NAME

       towlower - transliterate uppercase wide-character code to lowercase

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wctype.h>

       wint_t towlower(wint_t wc);

DESCRIPTION

       The  towlower()  function  has  as a domain a type wint_t, the value of
       which the application shall ensure is a character  representable  as  a
       wchar_t,  and  a wide-character code corresponding to a valid character
       in the current locale or the value of WEOF. If  the  argument  has  any
       other  value,  the behavior is undefined. If the argument of towlower()
       represents  an  uppercase  wide-character  code,  and  there  exists  a
       corresponding  lowercase  wide-character  code (as defined by character
       type information in the program locale category LC_CTYPE ), the  result
       shall  be  the  corresponding lowercase wide-character code.  All other
       arguments in the domain are returned unchanged.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful  completion,  towlower()  shall  return  the  lowercase
       letter corresponding to the argument passed; otherwise, it shall return
       the argument unchanged.
