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

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.
