<wctype.h>(0P)             POSIX Programmer's Manual            <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, Sec-
       tion 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-spe-
              cific 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 cate-
       gory 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.
