WCTYPE(3) BSD Library Functions Manual WCTYPE(3)NAME
iswctype, wctype -- wide character class functions
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <wctype.h>
int
iswctype(wint_t wc, wctype_t charclass);
wctype_t
wctype(const char *property);
DESCRIPTION
The wctype() function returns a value of type wctype_t which represents the requested wide character class and may be used as the second
argument for calls to iswctype().
The following character class names are recognised:
alnum cntrl ideogram print space xdigit
alpha digit lower punct special
blank graph phonogram rune upper
The iswctype() function checks whether the wide character wc is in the character class charclass.
RETURN VALUES
The iswctype() function returns non-zero if and only if wc has the property described by charclass, or charclass is zero.
The wctype() function returns 0 if property is invalid, otherwise it returns a value of type wctype_t that can be used in subsequent calls to
iswctype().
EXAMPLES
Reimplement iswalpha(3) in terms of iswctype() and wctype():
int
myiswalpha(wint_t wc)
{
return (iswctype(wc, wctype("alpha")));
}
SEE ALSO ctype(3), nextwctype(3)STANDARDS
The iswctype() and wctype() functions conform to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1''). The ``ideogram'', ``phonogram'', ``special'', and
``rune'' character classes are extensions.
HISTORY
The iswctype() and wctype() functions first appeared in FreeBSD 5.0.

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()

The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I see lot of ad-hoc shell scripts in our servers which don't have a shebang at the beginning .
Does this mean that it will run on any shell ?
