iswcntrl

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

NAME

       iswcntrl - test for control wide character

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wctype.h>

       int iswcntrl(wint_t wc);

DESCRIPTION

       The  iswcntrl() function is the wide-character equivalent of the iscntrl(3) function.  It tests whether wc is a wide character belonging to
       the wide-character class "cntrl".

       The wide-character class "cntrl" is disjoint from the wide-character class "print" and therefore also disjoint from its subclasses "graph",
       "alpha", "upper", "lower", "digit", "xdigit", "punct".

       For an unsigned char c, iscntrl(c) implies iswcntrl(btowc(c)), but not vice versa.

RETURN VALUE

       The  iswcntrl()	function  returns  nonzero if wc is a wide character belonging to the wide-character class "cntrl".  Otherwise, it returns
       zero.

ATTRIBUTES

       For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).

CONFORMING TO

       POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008, C99.

NOTES

       The behavior of iswcntrl() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale.
