NAME

       wctrans - wide-character translation mapping

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wctype.h>

       wctrans_t wctrans(const char *name);

DESCRIPTION

       The  wctrans_t type represents a mapping which can map a wide character to another wide character.  Its nature is implementation-dependent,
       but the special value (wctrans_t) 0 denotes an invalid mapping.  Nonzero wctrans_t values can be passed to  the  towctrans(3)  function  to
       actually perform the wide-character mapping.

       The  wctrans()  function  returns  a  mapping,  given  by its name.  The set of valid names depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current
       locale, but the following names are valid in all locales.

           "tolower" - realizes the tolower(3) mapping
           "toupper" - realizes the toupper(3) mapping

RETURN VALUE

       The wctrans() function returns a mapping descriptor if the name is valid.  Otherwise, it returns (wctrans_t) 0.

NAME

     towctrans, towctrans_l, wctrans, wctrans_l -- wide character mapping functions

LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <wctype.h>

     wint_t
     towctrans(wint_t wc, wctrans_t desc);

     wctrans_t
     wctrans(const char *charclass);

     #include <wctype.h>
     #include <xlocale.h>

     wint_t
     towctrans_l(wint_t wc, wctrans_t desc, locale_t loc);

     wctrans_t
     wctrans_l(const char *charclass, locale_t loc);

DESCRIPTION

     The wctrans() function returns a value of type wctrans_t, which represents the requested wide character mapping operation and may be used as
     the second argument for calls to towctrans().

     The following character mapping names are recognised:

	   tolower    toupper

     The towctrans() function transliterates the wide character wc, according to the mapping described by desc.

     While the towctrans() and wctrans() functions use the current locale, the towctrans_l() and wctrans_l() functions may be passed locales
     directly. See xlocale(3) for more information.

RETURN VALUES

     The towctrans() function returns the transliterated character if successful, otherwise it returns the character unchanged and sets errno.

     The wctrans() function returns non-zero if successful, otherwise it returns zero and sets errno.

EXAMPLES

     Reimplement towupper() in terms of towctrans() and wctrans():

	   wint_t
	   mytowupper(wint_t wc)
	   {
		   return (towctrans(wc, wctrans("toupper")));
	   }

ERRORS

     The towctrans() function will fail if:

     [EINVAL]		The supplied desc argument is invalid.

     The wctrans() function will fail if:

     [EINVAL]		The requested mapping name is invalid.

STANDARDS

     The towctrans() and wctrans() functions conform to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').

HISTORY

     The towctrans() and wctrans() functions first appeared in FreeBSD 5.0.
