Routines |
Converts |
|---|---|
_mbctohira,_mbctohira_l |
Multibyte katakana to multibyte hiragana. |
_mbctokata,_mbctokata_l |
Multibyte hiragana to multibyte katakana. |
The output value is affected by the setting of the LC_CTYPE category setting of the locale; see setlocale for more information. The versions of these functions are identical, except that the ones that don't have the _l suffix use the current locale for this locale-dependent behavior and the ones that do have the _l suffix instead use the locale parameter that's passed in. For more information, see Locale.
In earlier versions, _mbctohira was named jtohira and _mbctokata was named jtokata. For new code, use the new names.
