NAME
iswprint - test for printing wide character SYNOPSIS
#include <wctype.h> int iswprint(wint_t wc); DESCRIPTION
The iswprint() function is the wide-character equivalent of the isprint(3) function. It tests whether wc is a wide character belonging to the wide-character class "print". The wide-character class "print" is disjoint from the wide-character class "cntrl". The wide-character class "print" contains the wide-character class "graph". RETURN VALUE
The iswprint() function returns nonzero if wc is a wide character belonging to the wide-character class "print". Otherwise it returns zero. CONFORMING TO
C99. NOTES
The behavior of iswprint() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale. SEE ALSO
isprint(3), iswctype(3) COLOPHON
