NAME¶

std::iswlower - std::iswlower

Synopsis¶

Defined in header <cwctype>
int iswlower( std::wint_t ch );

Checks if the given wide character is a lowercase letter, i.e. one of
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz or any lowercase letter specific to the current locale.

If the value of ch is neither representable as a wchar_t nor equal to the value of
the macro WEOF, the behavior is undefined.

Parameters¶

ch - wide character

Return value¶

Non-zero value if the wide character is an lowercase letter, zero otherwise.

Notes¶

ISO 30112 specifies which Unicode characters are include in POSIX lower category.

Example¶

// Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <cwctype>
#include <clocale>

int main()
{
wchar_t c = L'\u0444'; // Cyrillic small letter ef ('ф')

std::cout << std::hex << std::showbase << std::boolalpha;
std::cout << "in the default locale, iswlower(" << (std::wint_t)c << ") = "
<< (bool)std::iswlower(c) << '\n';
std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8");
std::cout << "in Unicode locale, iswlower(" << (std::wint_t)c << ") = "
<< (bool)std::iswlower(c) << '\n';
}

Output:¶

in the default locale, iswlower(0x444) = false
in Unicode locale, iswlower(0x444) = true
