wint_t towlower( wint_t wc );
(since C95)Converts the given wide character to lowercase, if possible.
[edit] Parameters wc - wide character to be converted [edit] Return valueLowercase version of wc or unmodified wc if no lowercase version is listed in the current C locale.
[edit] NotesOnly 1:1 character mapping can be performed by this function, e.g. the Greek uppercase letter 'Σ' has two lowercase forms, depending on the position in a word: 'Ï' and 'Ï'. A call to towlower
cannot be used to obtain the correct lowercase form in this case.
ISO 30112 specifies which pairs of Unicode characters are included in this mapping.
[edit] Example#include <locale.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <wchar.h> #include <wctype.h> int main(void) { wchar_t wc = L'\u0190'; // Latin capital open E ('Æ') printf("in the default locale, towlower(%#x) = %#x\n", wc, towlower(wc)); setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8"); printf("in Unicode locale, towlower(%#x) = %#x\n", wc, towlower(wc)); }
Output:
in the default locale, towlower(0x190) = 0x190 in Unicode locale, towlower(0x190) = 0x25b[edit] References
