NAME

       towctrans, towctrans_l — wide-character transliteration

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wctype.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       For  towctrans():  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() 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 or in the locale represented by
       locale, respectively, should be the same as during the call to wctrans() or wctrans_l() that returned the
       value desc.

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

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

       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.

       The behavior is undefined  if  the  locale  argument  to  towctrans_l()  is  the  special  locale  object
       LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid locale object handle.

RETURN VALUE

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

ERRORS

       These functions may fail if:

       EINVAL desc contains an invalid transliteration descriptor.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

       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.

           towlower(wc)            towctrans(wc, wctrans("tolower"))
           towlower_l(wc, locale)  towctrans_l(wc, wctrans("tolower"), locale)
           towupper(wc)            towctrans(wc, wctrans("toupper"))
           towupper_l(wc, locale)  towctrans_l(wc, wctrans("toupper"), locale)

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
