If no upper-case character is defined, it returns the +character unchanged. +.PP +If \fIch\fR represents an upper-case character, +\fBTcl_UniCharToLower\fR returns the corresponding lower-case +character. If no lower-case character is defined, it returns the +character unchanged. +.PP +If \fIch\fR represents a lower-case character, +\fBTcl_UniCharToTitle\fR returns the corresponding title-case +character. If no title-case character is defined, it returns the +corresponding upper-case character. If no upper-case character is +defined, it returns the character unchanged. Title-case is defined +for a small number of characters that have a different appearance when +they are at the beginning of a capitalized word. +.PP +The next three routines convert the case of UTF-8 strings in place in +memory: +.PP +\fBTcl_UtfToUpper\fR changes every UTF-8 character in \fIstr\fR to +upper-case. Because changing the case of a character may change its +size, the byte offset of each character in the resulting string may +differ from its original location. \fBTcl_UtfToUpper\fR writes a null +byte at the end of the converted string. \fBTcl_UtfToUpper\fR returns +the new length of the string in bytes. This new length is guaranteed +to be no longer than the original string length. +.PP +\fBTcl_UtfToLower\fR is the same as \fBTcl_UtfToUpper\fR except it +turns each character in the string into its lower-case equivalent. +.PP +\fBTcl_UtfToTitle\fR is the same as \fBTcl_UtfToUpper\fR except it +turns the first character in the string into its title-case equivalent +and all following characters into their lower-case equivalents. + +.SH BUGS +.PP +At this time, the case conversions are only defined for the ISO8859-1 +characters. Unicode characters above 0x00ff are not modified by these +routines. + +.SH KEYWORDS +utf, unicode, toupper, tolower, totitle, case |
