towctrans(), towctrans_l() -- transliterate wide character

SYNOPSIS

#include <wctype.h>

wint_t towctrans(wint_t wc, wctrans_t desc);

wint_t towctrans_l(wint_t wc, wctrans_t desc, locale_t locale);

The towctrans() function transliterates the specified wide character code using the specified mapping. The current setting of the LC_CTYPE locale category should be the same as during the call to wctrans() that returns the value of desc. If the value of desc is invalid (that is, not obtained by a call to wctrans() or desc is invalidated by a subsequent call to setlocale() that has affected the LC_CTYPE category), the result is undefined.

towctrans_l() behaves in the same way as towctrans() without the _l suffix, but uses the specified locale rather than the global or per-thread locale. A locale_t is returned by newlocale().

PARAMETERS

wc: Is a wide character to transliterate.
desc: Is the descriptor for the transliteration to be performed, as returned by wctrans().
locale: Is a locale_t perhaps returned by newlocale() or LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or 0 for the current thread locale set with uselocale().

RETURN VALUES

On success, towctrans() (and towctrans_l()) returns the mapped value of wc using the mapping described by desc. Otherwise it returns wc unchanged, and sets errno to one of the following values:

EINVAL: desc contains an invalid transliteration descriptor.

CONFORMANCE

towctrans() conforms to ANSI/ISO 9899-1990/AM 1-1995
