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.

CONFORMING TO

       C99.

NOTES

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

SEE ALSO

       iscntrl(3), iswctype(3)
