function
<cwctype>

iswlower

int iswlower (wint_t c);
Check if wide character is lowercase letter
Checks whether c is a lowercase letter.

Notice that what is considered a letter may depend on the locale being used.

This function is the wide-character equivalent of islower (<cctype>): If c translates with wctob to a character for which islower is true, it is always considered a lowercase letter character by this function too.

In C++, a locale-specific template version of this function (islower) exists in header <locale> for all character types.

Parameters

c
Wide character to be checked, casted to a wint_t, or WEOF.
wint_t is an integral type.

Return Value

A value different from zero (i.e., true) if indeed c is a lowercase letter. Zero (i.e., false) otherwise.
