PROLOG

       ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

       towctrans - wide-character transliteration

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wctype.h>

       wint_t towctrans(wint_t wc, wctrans_t desc);

DESCRIPTION

       The towctrans() function shall transliterate the wide-character code wc using the mapping described by desc. The  current  setting  of  the
       LC_CTYPE  category  should be the same as during the call to wctrans() 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.

       An  application	wishing to check for error situations should set errno to 0 before calling towctrans(). If errno is non-zero on return, an
       error has occurred.

RETURN VALUE

       If successful, the towctrans() function shall return the mapped value of wc using the mapping described by desc. Otherwise, it shall return
       wc unchanged.

ERRORS

       The towctrans() function 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"))
	      towupper(wc)    towctrans(wc, wctrans("toupper"))

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
