15.SH NAME
16iswpunct \- test for punctuation or symbolic wide character
17.SH SYNOPSIS

23.SH DESCRIPTION
e511ffb6 24The \fBiswpunct\fP() function is the wide-character equivalent of the
c13182ef
MK
25\fBispunct\fP() function.
26It tests whether \fIwc\fP is a wide character
fea681da
MK
27belonging to the wide character class "punct".
28.PP
29The wide character class "punct" is a subclass of the wide character class
30"graph", and therefore also a subclass of the wide character class "print".
31.PP
32The wide character class "punct" is disjoint from the wide character class
33"alnum" and therefore also disjoint from its subclasses "alpha", "upper",
34"lower", "digit", "xdigit".
35.PP
36Being a subclass of the wide character class "print", the wide character class
37"punct" is disjoint from the wide character class "cntrl".
38.PP
39Being a subclass of the wide character class "graph", the wide character class
40"punct" is disjoint from the wide character class "space" and its subclass
41"blank".
42.SH "RETURN VALUE"
e511ffb6 43The \fBiswpunct\fP() function returns non-zero if \fIwc\fP is a wide character
c13182ef
MK
44belonging to the wide character class "punct".
45Otherwise it returns zero.

48.SH "SEE ALSO"
49.BR ispunct (3),
50.BR iswctype (3)
51.SH NOTES
e511ffb6 52The behaviour of \fBiswpunct\fP() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the
fea681da
MK
53current locale.
54.PP
55This function's name is a misnomer when dealing with Unicode characters,
56because the wide character class "punct" contains both punctuation characters
57and symbol (math, currency, etc.) characters.
