- #include <wctype.h>

- .SH DESCRIPTION
- For
- \fIwctrans\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
- \fIwctrans\fR()
- and
- \fIwctrans_l\fR()
- functions are defined for valid character mapping names identified
- in the current locale. The
- .IR charclass
- is a string identifying a generic character mapping name for which
- codeset-specific information is required. The following character
- mapping names are defined in all locales:
- .BR tolower
- and
- .BR toupper .
- .P
- These functions shall return a value of type
- .BR wctrans_t ,
- which can be used as the second argument to subsequent calls of
- \fItowctrans\fR()
- and
- \fItowctrans_l\fR().
- .P
- The
- \fIwctrans\fR()
- and
- \fIwctrans_l\fR()
- functions shall determine values of
- .BR wctrans_t
- according to the rules of the coded character set defined by character
- mapping information in the current locale
- or in the locale represented by
- .IR locale ,
- respectively (category
- .IR LC_CTYPE ).
- .P
- The values returned by
- \fIwctrans\fR()
- shall be valid until a call to
- \fIsetlocale\fR()
- that modifies the category
- .IR LC_CTYPE .
- .P
- The values returned by
- \fIwctrans_l\fR()
- shall be valid only in calls to
- \fItowctrans_l\fR()
- with a locale represented by
- .IR locale
- with the same
- .IR LC_CTYPE
- category value.
- .P
- The behavior is undefined if the
- .IR locale
- argument to
- \fIwctrans_l\fR()
- is the special locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid locale
- object handle.
- .SH "RETURN VALUE"
- The
- \fIwctrans\fR()
- and
- \fIwctrans_l\fR()
- functions shall return 0 and may set
- .IR errno
- to indicate the error if the given character mapping name is not valid
- for the current locale (category
- .IR LC_CTYPE );
- otherwise, they shall return a non-zero object of type
- .BR wctrans_t
- that can be used in calls to
- \fItowctrans\fR()
- and
- \fItowctrans_l\fR().
- .SH ERRORS
- These functions may fail if:
- .TP
- .BR EINVAL
- The character mapping name pointed to by
- .IR charclass
- is not valid in the current locale.
