iswctype - wide-character classification
Standard C library (libc
, -lc
)
#include <wctype.h>
int iswctype(wint_t wc, wctype_t desc);
If wc
is a wide character having the character property
designated by desc
(or in other words: belongs to the character
class designated by desc
), then the iswctype()
function returns nonzero. Otherwise, it returns zero. If wc
is
WEOF, zero is returned.
desc
must be a character property descriptor returned by the
wctype(3) function.
The iswctype() function returns nonzero if the
wc
has the designated property. Otherwise, it returns 0.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).
