14 | .TH WCTYPE 3 1999-07-25 "GNU" "Linux Programmer's Manual" | |
15 | .SH NAME | |
16 | wctype \- wide character classification | |
17 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |
18 | .nf | |
19 | .B #include <wctype.h> | |
20 | .sp | |
21 | .BI "wctype_t wctype(const char *" name ); | |
22 | .fi | |
23 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
24 | The \fBwctype_t\fP type represents a property which a wide character may or | |
25 | may not have. In other words, it represents a class of wide characters. | |
26 | This type's nature is implementation dependent, but the special value | |
27 | \fI(wctype_t)0\fP denotes an invalid property. Nonzero \fBwctype_t\fP values | |
3382bd94 | 28 | can be passed to the \fBiswctype\fP() function to actually test whether a given |
fea681da MK |
29 | wide character has the property. |
30 | .PP | |
e511ffb6 | 31 | The \fBwctype\fP() function returns a property, given by its name. The set of |
fea681da MK |
32 | valid names depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale, but the |
33 | following names are valid in all locales. | |

48 | .SH "RETURN VALUE" | |
e511ffb6 | 49 | The \fBwctype\fP() function returns a property descriptor if the \fIname\fP is |
fea681da MK |
50 | valid. Otherwise it returns \fI(wctype_t)0\fP. |

55 | .SH NOTES | |
e511ffb6 | 56 | The behaviour of \fBwctype\fP() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the |
fea681da | 57 | current locale. |
