.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn wctrans
function returns a value of type
.Vt wctrans_t ,
which represents the requested wide character mapping operation and
may be used as the second argument for calls to
.Fn towctrans .
.Pp
The following character mapping names are recognised:
.Bl -column -offset indent ".Li tolower" ".Li toupper"
.It Li "tolower	toupper"
.El
.Pp
The
.Fn towctrans
function transliterates the wide character
.Fa wc ,
according to the mapping described by
.Fa desc .
.Pp
While the
.Fn towctrans
and
.Fn wctrans
functions use the current locale, the
.Fn towctrans_l
and
.Fn wctrans_l
functions may be passed locales directly. See
.Xr xlocale 3
for more information.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The
.Fn towctrans
function returns the transliterated character if successful, otherwise
it returns the character unchanged and sets
.Va errno .
.Pp
The
.Fn wctrans
function returns non-zero if successful, otherwise it returns zero
and sets
.Va errno .
.Sh EXAMPLES
Reimplement
.Fn towupper
in terms of
.Fn towctrans
and
.Fn wctrans :
.Bd -literal -offset indent
wint_t
mytowupper(wint_t wc)
{
	return (towctrans(wc, wctrans("toupper")));
}
