PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME
iswlower - test for a lowercase letter wide-character code

SYNOPSIS

#include <wctype.h>

int iswlower(wint_t wc);

DESCRIPTION

The iswlower() function shall test whether wc is a wide-character code representing a character of class lower in the program's current locale; see the Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Chapter 7, Locale.

The wc argument is a wint_t, the value of which the application shall ensure is a wide-character code corresponding to a valid character in the current locale, or equal to the value of the macro WEOF. If the argument has any other value, the behavior is undefined.

RETURN VALUE

The iswlower() function shall return non-zero if wc is a lowercase letter wide-character code; otherwise, it shall return 0.

ERRORS

No errors are defined.

The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

None.

APPLICATION USAGE

To ensure applications portability, especially across natural languages, only this function and those listed in the SEE ALSO section should be used for classification of wide-character codes.

RATIONALE

None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

None.
