ISWCTYPE(3)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						       ISWCTYPE(3)

NAME
iswctype - wide-character classification SYNOPSIS
#include <wctype.h> int iswctype(wint_t wc, wctype_t desc); DESCRIPTION
If wc is a wide character having the character property designated by desc (or in other words: belongs to the character class designated by desc), the iswctype() function returns nonzero. Otherwise, it returns zero. If wc is WEOF, zero is returned. desc must be a character property descriptor returned by the wctype(3) function. RETURN VALUE
The iswctype() function returns nonzero if the wc has the designated property. Otherwise, it returns 0. ATTRIBUTES
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7). +-----------+---------------+---------+ |Interface | Attribute | Value | +-----------+---------------+---------+ |iswctype() | Thread safety | MT-Safe | +-----------+---------------+---------+ CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008, C99. NOTES
The behavior of iswctype() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale. SEE ALSO
