towctrans towctrans_l — wide-character transliteration

#include <wctype.h>

wint_t towctrans(wint_t wc, wctrans_t desc);
[CX] wint_t towctrans_l(wint_t wc, wctrans_t desc,
       locale_t locale);

For towctrans (): [CX] The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2008 defers to the ISO C standard.

The towctrans () [CX] and towctrans_l () functions shall transliterate the wide-character code wc using the mapping described by desc.

The current setting of the LC_CTYPE category in the current locale of the process [CX] or in the locale represented by locale, respectively, should be the same as during the call to wctrans(3) [CX] or wctrans_l(3) that returned the value desc.

If the value of desc is invalid (that is, not obtained by a call to wctrans(3) or desc is invalidated by a subsequent call to setlocale(3) that has affected category LC_CTYPE ), the result is unspecified.

[CX] If the value of desc is invalid (that is, not obtained by a call to wctrans_l(3) with the same locale object locale) the result is unspecified.

[CX] An application wishing to check for error situations should set errno to 0 before calling towctrans () or towctrans_l ().

If errno is non-zero on return, an error has occurred.

If successful, the towctrans () [CX] and towctrans_l () functions shall return the mapped value of wc using the mapping described by desc. Otherwise, they shall return wc unchanged.

These functions may fail if:

[CX] desc contains an invalid transliteration descriptor.

The towctrans_l () function may fail if:

[CX] locale is not a valid locale object handle.

None.

The strings "tolower" and "toupper" are reserved for the standard mapping names. In the table below, the functions in the left column are equivalent to the functions in the right column.
