wctrans, wctrans_lget a character mapping identifier by name

#include <wctype.h>

wctrans_t
wctrans(const char *charmap);

wctrans_t
wctrans_l(const char *charmap, locale_t locale);

These functions return a character mapping identifier corresponding to the locale-specific character mapping name charmap. This identifier can be used in the subsequent calls of () or (), respectively.

The following names are defined in all locales:

tolower toupper

The function () uses the specified locale, whereas () uses the thread-specific locale set with uselocale(3), falling back to the global locale set with setlocale(3).

These functions return the character mapping identifier, or (wctrans_t)0 if charmap does not corresponding to a valid character mapping name.
