- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .LP
- .nf
- #include <wctype.h>
- .P
- wint_t towctrans(wint_t \fIwc\fP, wctrans_t \fIdesc\fP);
- wint_t towctrans_l(wint_t \fIwc\fP, wctrans_t \fIdesc\fP,

- .SH DESCRIPTION
- For
- \fItowctrans\fR():
- 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\(hy2017 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
- .P
- The
- \fItowctrans\fR()
- and
- \fItowctrans_l\fR()
- functions shall transliterate the wide-character code
- .IR wc
- using the mapping described by
- .IR desc .
- .P
- The current setting of the
- .IR LC_CTYPE
- category in the current locale
- or in the locale represented by
- .IR locale ,
- respectively, should be the same as during the call to
- \fIwctrans\fR()
- or
- \fIwctrans_l\fR()
- that returned the value
- .IR desc .
- .P
- If the value of
- .IR desc
- is invalid (that is, not obtained by a call to
- \fIwctrans\fR()
- or
- .IR desc
- is invalidated by a subsequent call to
- \fIsetlocale\fR()
- that has affected category
- .IR LC_CTYPE ),
- the result is unspecified.
- .P
- If the value of
- .IR desc
- is invalid (that is, not obtained by a call to
- \fIwctrans_l\fR()
- with the same locale object
- .IR locale )
- the result is unspecified.
- .P
- An application wishing to check for error situations should set
- .IR errno
- to 0 before calling
- \fItowctrans\fR()
- or
- \fItowctrans_l\fR().
- .P
- If
- .IR errno
- is non-zero on return, an error has occurred.
- .P
- The behavior is undefined if the
- .IR locale
- argument to
- \fItowctrans_l\fR()
- is the special locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid locale
- object handle.
- .SH "RETURN VALUE"
- If successful, the
- \fItowctrans\fR()
- and
- \fItowctrans_l\fR()
- functions shall return the mapped value of
- .IR wc
- using the mapping described by
- .IR desc .
- Otherwise, they shall return
- .IR wc
- unchanged.
- .SH ERRORS
- These functions may fail if:
- .TP
- .BR EINVAL
- .IR desc
- contains an invalid transliteration descriptor.
- .LP

- The strings
- .BR \(dqtolower\(dq
- and
- .BR \(dqtoupper\(dq
- 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.
