iswcntrl - test for control wide character
Standard C library (libc
, -lc
)
#include <wctype.h>
int iswcntrl(wint_t wc);
The iswcntrl() function is the wide-character
equivalent of the iscntrl(3) function. It tests whether
wc
is a wide character belonging to the wide-character class
"cntrl".
The wide-character class "cntrl" is disjoint from the wide-character class "print" and therefore also disjoint from its subclasses "graph", "alpha", "upper", "lower", "digit", "xdigit", "punct".
For an unsigned char c
, iscntrl(c)
implies
iswcntrl(btowc(c))
, but not vice versa.
The iswcntrl() function returns nonzero if
wc
is a wide character belonging to the wide-character class
"cntrl". Otherwise, it returns zero.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).
