NAME

wctrans_ja - Wide character conversion for the Japanese locale

SYNOPSIS

#include <wchar.h>

wctrans_t wctrans(const char *property);

DESCRIPTION

wctrans() builds values in wctrans_t data type according to the specification with the property argument to allow conversion between wide characters. towctrans() is used for actual conversion. wctrans() returns arguments that towctrans() needs to use.

The following character class names are defined in every locale.

: tolower

In addition to the above, the Japanese locale (ja, ja_JP.PCK and ja_JP.UTF-8) defines the following character classes specific to the Japanese locale.

: tojhira
: tojkata
: tojisx0208
: tojisx0201

These can be also used as property arguments to wctrans(). However, the use of these classes are limited to applications for the Japanese locale only.
