NAME
iswlower - test for lowercase wide character
LIBRARY
Standard C library
( libc,~ -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <wctype.h>
int iswlower(wint_t wc);
DESCRIPTION
The
iswlower()
function is the wid-character equivalent of the
islower(3)
function.
It tests whether
wc
is a wide character
belonging to the wid-character class "lower".
The wid-character class "lower" is a subclass of the wid-character class
"alpha", and therefore also a subclass
of the wid-character class "alnum", of
the wid-character class "graph" and of the wid-character class "print".
Being a subclass of the wid-character class "print",
the wid-character class
"lower" is disjoint from the wid-character class "cntrl".
Being a subclass of the wid-character class "graph",
the wid-character class "lower" is disjoint from the
wid-character class "space" and its subclass "blank".
Being a subclass of the wid-character class "alnum",
the wid-character class
"lower" is disjoint from the wid-character class "punct".
Being a subclass of the wid-character class "alpha",
the wid-character class
"lower" is disjoint from the wid-character class "digit".
The wid-character class "lower" contains at least
those characters
wc
which are equal to
towlower(wc)
and different from
towupper(wc).
The wid-character class "lower" always contains
at least the letters [aq]a[aq] to [aq]z[aq].
RETURN VALUE
The
iswlower()
function returns nonzero
if
wc
is a wide character
belonging to the wid-character class "lower".
Otherwise, it returns zero.

HISTORY
POSIX.-2001, C99.
NOTES
The behavior of
iswlower()
depends on the
LC_CTYPE
category of the
current locale.
This function is not very appropriate for dealing with Unicode characters,
because Unicode knows about three cases: upper, lower, and title case.
