NAME

       iswlower - test for lowercase wide character

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wctype.h>

       int iswlower (wint_t wc);

DESCRIPTION

       The  iswlower function is the wide-character equivalent of the islower function. It tests whether wc is a
       wide character belonging to the wide character class "lower".

       The wide character class "lower" is a subclass of the wide character class "alpha", and therefore also  a
       subclass  of  the  wide  character  class  "alnum",  of  the wide character class "graph" and of the wide
       character class "print".

       Being a subclass of the wide character class "print", the wide character class "lower" is  disjoint  from
       the wide character class "cntrl".

       Being  a  subclass of the wide character class "graph", the wide character class "lower" is disjoint from
       the wide character class "space" and its subclass "blank".

       Being a subclass of the wide character class "alnum", the wide character class "lower" is  disjoint  from
       the wide character class "punct".

       Being  a  subclass of the wide character class "alpha", the wide character class "lower" is disjoint from
       the wide character class "digit".

       The wide character class "lower" contains at least those characters wc which are  equal  to  towlower(wc)
       and different from towupper(wc).

       The wide character class "lower" always contains at least the letters 'a' to 'z'.

RETURN VALUE

       The  iswlower  function  returns non-zero if wc is a wide character belonging to the wide character class
       "lower". Otherwise it returns zero.

NOTES

       The behaviour of iswlower 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.
