Character Manipulation Function
int tolower(int c);
int _tolower(int c);
int towlower(wint_t c);
unsigned int _mbctolower(unsigned int c);
_TINT _totlower(_TINT c);
Internationalization (I18n) Function Overview
The functions tolower and _tolower convert a character to a lowercase
character (if it is an uppercase character).
towlower is the wide character equivalent, testing and converting a wide character.
On Windows platforms only, use _mbctolower for the multibyte equivalent.
_totlower is the Windows-only Generic version of the function;
with the _MBCS or _UNICODE compiler flags determining its mapping to either _mbctolower or towlower .
I18n Issues
Use the appropriate version of the function as required for internationalization support, noting the following:
On ANSI platforms, there is no multibyte version of tolower . Instead, convert the multibyte character to a wide character and
call towlower .
Prior to calling towlower , ensure that the locale is set correctly, since
the function depends on the locale's LC_CTYPE category setting.
The _mbctolower function depends on the multibyte code page in effect. By default, the multibyte code page
is set to the system-default ANSI code page obtained from the operating system at program startup.
Use _getmbcp and _setmbcp to query or change
the current multibyte code page, respectively.
