NAME
       libw - wide character library

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file...  [ library... ]
       #include <wchar.h>

DESCRIPTION
       Historically, functions in this library provided wide character translations. This functionality now resides in libc(3LIB).

       This  library  is  maintained  to provide backward compatibility for both runtime and compilation environments. The shared object is imple-
       mented as a filter on libc.so.1. New application development need not specify -lw.

INTERFACES
       The shared object libw.so.1 provides the public interfaces defined below. See Intro(3) for additional information on shared  object  inter-
       faces.
