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  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.

NOTES

       The behaviour 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.
