This function converts a character string or a single character to lowercase. If the operand is a character string, the function converts the characters in place.

Syntax 

LPTSTR CharLower(
  LPTSTR 
lpsz
);

Parameters

lpsz

[in] Pointer to a null-terminated string or specifies a single character. If the high-order word of this parameter is 0, the low-order word must contain a single character to be converted.

Return Value

A pointer to the converted string indicates that the operand is a character string. Because the string is converted in place, the return value is equal to lpsz.

A 32-bit value whose high-order word is 0 and low-order word contains the converted character indicates that the operand is a single character.

There is no indication of success or failure. Failure is rare. There is no extended error information for this function; do not call GetLastError.
