SYNOPSIS
#include <wctype.h>
wctrans_t wctrans(const char *charclass);
DESCRIPTION
The wctrans() function is defined for valid character mapping names
identified in the current locale. The charclass is a string identifying
a generic character mapping name for which codeset-specific information
is required. The following character mapping names are defined in all
locales: tolower and toupper.
The function shall return a value of type wctrans_t, which can be used
as the second argument to subsequent calls of towctrans(). The
wctrans() function shall determine values of wctrans_t according to the
rules of the coded character set defined by character mapping informa‐
tion in the program's locale (category LC_CTYPE ). The values returned
by wctrans() shall be valid until a call to setlocale() that modifies
the category LC_CTYPE .
RETURN VALUE
The wctrans() function shall return 0 and may set errno to indicate
the error if the given character mapping name is not valid for the
current locale (category LC_CTYPE ); otherwise, it shall return a non-
zero object of type wctrans_t that can be used in calls to towctrans().
ERRORS
The wctrans() function may fail if:
EINVAL The character mapping name pointed to by charclass is not valid
in the current locale.
