Although the wcswidth() function uses the current locale, the wcswidth_l() function may be passed a locale directly. See xlocale(3) for more information.RETURN VALUESThe wcswidth() function returns 0 if pwcs is an empty string (L""), -1 if a non-printing wide character is encountered; otherwise, it returns the number of column positions occupied.SEE ALSOiswprint(3), wcwidth(3), xlocale(3)STANDARDSThe wcswidth() function conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').BSDAugust 20, 2002 BSD
