Function

GLibascii_strdown

Declaration

gchar*
g_ascii_strdown (
  const gchar* str,
  gssize len
)

Description

Converts all upper case ASCII letters to lower case ASCII letters.

Parameters

str

Type: const gchar*

A string.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.

The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.

len

Type: gssize

Length of str in bytes, or -1 if str is nul-terminated.

Return value

Type: gchar*

A newly-allocated string, with all the upper case characters in str converted to lower case, with semantics that exactly match g_ascii_tolower(). (Note that this is unlike the old g_strdown(), which modified the string in place.)

The caller of the function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.

The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
