wctype.h(0p)

NAME

wctype.h - wide-character classification and mapping utilities

SYNOPSIS

#include <wctype.h>

DESCRIPTION

Some of the functionality described on this reference page extends the ISO C standard. Applications shall define the appropriate feature test macro (see the System Interfaces volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 2.2, The Compilation Environment) to enable the visibility of these symbols in this header.

The <wctype.h> header shall define the following types:

wint_t As described in <wchar.h> .

wctrans_t
A scalar type that can hold values which represent locale-specific character mappings.
wctype_t
As described in <wchar.h> .
The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.

int iswalnum(wint_t);
int iswalpha(wint_t);
int iswblank(wint_t);
int iswcntrl(wint_t);
int iswdigit(wint_t);
int iswgraph(wint_t);
int iswlower(wint_t);
int iswprint(wint_t);
int iswpunct(wint_t);
int iswspace(wint_t);
int iswupper(wint_t);
int iswxdigit(wint_t);
int iswctype(wint_t, wctype_t);
wint_t towctrans(wint_t, wctrans_t);
wint_t towlower(wint_t);
wint_t towupper(wint_t);
wctrans_t wctrans(const char *);
wctype_t wctype(const char *);
The <wctype.h> header shall define the following macro name:
WEOF Constant expression of type wint_t that is returned by several
MSE functions to indicate end-of-file.
For all functions described in this header that accept an argument of type wint_t, the value is representable as a wchar_t or equals the value of WEOF. If this argument has any other value, the behavior is undefined.
The behavior of these functions shall be affected by the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale.
Inclusion of the <wctype.h> header may make visible all symbols from the headers <ctype.h>, <stdarg.h>, <stddef.h>, <stdio.h>, <stdlib.h>, <string.h>, <time.h>, and <wchar.h>.
The following sections are informative.

APPLICATION USAGE

None.

RATIONALE

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
