PROLOG

       This  manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond-
       ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

       iswpunct - test for a punctuation wide-character code

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wctype.h>

       int iswpunct(wint_t wc);

DESCRIPTION

       The iswpunct() function shall test whether wc is a wide-character code representing a character of class punct  in  the	program's  current
       locale; see the Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Chapter 7, Locale.

       The wc argument is a wint_t, the value of which the application shall ensure is a wide-character code corresponding to a valid character in
       the current locale, or equal to the value of the macro WEOF. If the argument has any other value, the behavior is undefined.

RETURN VALUE

       The iswpunct() function shall return non-zero if wc is a punctuation wide-character code; otherwise, it shall return 0.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

       To ensure applications portability, especially across natural languages, only this function and those listed in the SEE ALSO section should
       be used for classification of wide-character codes.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
