towctrans

wint_t towctrans(wint_t c, wctrans_t desc);
Convert using transformation
Applies a the transformation specified by desc to the wide character c.

A specific locale can accept multiple transformations for characters. At least the following transformations are recognized by all locales:

string passed to wctransdescriptionequivalent function
"tolower"to lowercasetowlower
"toupper"to uppercasetowupper

The setting of the LC_CTYPE locale category at the time of calling the function shall be the same as when wctrans was called to obtain desc.

Parameters

c
Wide character to be transformed, casted to a wint_t value, or WEOF.
wint_t is an integral type.
desc
A value returned by a call to wctrans (with the same LC_CTYPE locale category selected as in this call).
wctrans_t is the scalar type used as return type for wctrans.

Return Value

The character transformation of c, if such value exists, or c (unchanged) otherwise.
The value is returned as a wint_t value that can be implicitly casted to wchar_t.

  wctype_t check = wctype("lower");
  wctrans_t trans = wctrans("toupper");
  while (str[i])
