NAME

       towlower - convert a wide character to lowercase

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wctype.h>

       wint_t towlower(wint_t wc);

DESCRIPTION

       The  towlower()  function  is  the wide-character equivalent of the tolower(3) function.  If wc is a wide
       character, it is converted to lowercase.  Characters which do not have case are returned  unchanged.   If
       wc is WEOF, WEOF is returned.

RETURN VALUE

       The towlower() function returns the lowercase equivalent of wc, or WEOF if wc is WEOF.

CONFORMING TO

       C99.

NOTES

       The behavior of towlower() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale.

       This  function  is  not very appropriate for dealing with Unicode characters, because Unicode knows about
       three cases: upper, lower and title case.
