.TH LOWERCASE 1
|
|
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
|
|
lowercase \(en make text lowercase
|
|
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
lowercase (-f)
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Lowercase prints text from standard input to standard output as lowercase.
|
|
|
|
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
|
|
Lowercase will print an error message and exit with the appropriate status from sysexits(3) if it attempts
|
|
to process a glyph outside the supported encoding range; this is to not inadverdently mangle multi-byte
|
|
characters. The -f option exists to override this and process every character anyway.
|
|
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
|
|
Lowercase is not Unicode aware unless it's compiled with the USE_ICU flag, which requires libicu.
|
|
This isn't tested to any extent.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Lowercase is redundant to usages of tr(1) among other POSIX-specified utilities.
|
|
|
|
.SH HISTORY
|
|
|
|

|
|
