LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <wctype.h>
int
iswalnum(wint_t wc);
int
iswalpha(wint_t wc);
int
iswblank(wint_t wc);
int
iswcntrl(wint_t wc);
int
iswdigit(wint_t wc);
int
iswgraph(wint_t wc);
int
iswlower(wint_t wc);
int
iswprint(wint_t wc);
int
iswpunct(wint_t wc);
int
iswspace(wint_t wc);
int
iswupper(wint_t wc);
int
iswxdigit(wint_t wc);
DESCRIPTION
The functions are character classification utility functions, for use
with wide characters (wchar_t or wint_t). See the description of single‐
byte classification functions, like isalnum(3), for details.
RETURN VALUES
The functions return zero if the character tests false and return non-
zero if the character tests true.
