p The following character mapping names are recognised: l -column -offset indent ".Li tolower" ".Li toupper" t Li "tolower toupper" .El

p The .Fn towctrans function transliterates the wide character .Fa wc according to the mapping described by .Fa desc . .Sh RETURN VALUES The .Fn towctrans function returns the transliterated character if successful, otherwise it returns the character unchanged and sets .Va errno .

p The .Fn wctrans function returns non-zero if successful, otherwise it returns zero and sets .Va errno . .Sh EXAMPLES Reimplement .Fn towupper in terms of .Fn towctrans and .Fn wctrans : d -literal -offset indent wint_t mytowupper(wint_t wc) { return (towctrans(wc, wctrans("toupper"))); } .Ed .Sh ERRORS The .Fn towctrans function will fail if: l -tag -width Er t Bq Er EINVAL The supplied .Fa desc argument is invalid. .El

p The .Fn wctrans function will fail if: l -tag -width Er t Bq Er EINVAL The requested mapping name is invalid. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr tolower 3 , .Xr toupper 3 , .Xr wctype 3 .Sh STANDARDS The .Fn towctrans and .Fn wctrans functions conform to .St -p1003.1-2001 . .Sh HISTORY The .Fn towctrans and .Fn wctrans functions first appeared in .Fx 5.0 .
