towctrans

Defined in header <wctype.h>
wint_t towctrans( wint_t wc, wctrans_t desc );
(since C95)

Maps the wide character wc using the current C locale's LC_CTYPE mapping category identified by desc.

Parameters

wc - the wide character to map
desc - the LC_CTYPE mapping, obtained from a call to wctrans

Return value

The mapped value of wc using the mapping identified by desc in LC_CTYPE facet of the current C locale.

Example

#include <locale.h>
#include <wctype.h>
#include <wchar.h>
#include <stdio.h>
 
int main(void)
{
    setlocale(LC_ALL, "ja_JP.UTF-8");
    wchar_t kana[] = L"ヒラガナ";
    size_t sz = sizeof kana / sizeof *kana;
    wchar_t hira[sz];
    for(size_t n = 0; n < sz; ++n)
        hira[n] = towctrans(kana[n], wctrans("tojhira"));
    printf("katakana characters %ls are %ls in hiragana\n", kana, hira);
}

Output:

katakana characters ヒラガナ are ひらがな in hiragana
