Name

iswctype — wide-character classification

Synopsis

#include <wctype.h>
int iswctype( wint_t wc,
  wctype_t desc);
 

DESCRIPTION

desc must be a character property descriptor returned by the wctype(3) function.

RETURN VALUE

The iswctype() function returns nonzero if the wc has the designated property. Otherwise it returns 0.

NOTES

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