63The
64.Fn wctrans
65function returns a value of type
66.Vt wctrans_t ,
67which represents the requested wide character mapping operation and
68may be used as the second argument for calls to

89and
90.Fn wctrans_l
91functions may be passed locales directly. See
92.Xr xlocale 3
93for more information.
