15 .SH NAME
16 iswcntrl \- test for control wide character
17 .SH SYNOPSIS
18 .nf
19 .B #include <wctype.h>
20 .sp
21 .BI "int iswcntrl(wint_t " wc );
22 .fi
23 .SH DESCRIPTION
24 The \fBiswcntrl\fP function is the wide-character equivalent of the
25 \fBiscntrl\fP function. It tests whether \fIwc\fP is a wide character
26 belonging to the wide character class "cntrl".
27 .PP
28 The wide character class "cntrl" is disjoint from the wide character class
29 "print" and therefore also disjoint from its subclasses "graph", "alpha",
30 "upper", "lower", "digit", "xdigit", "punct".
31 .PP
32 For an unsigned char \fIc\fP, \fIiscntrl(c)\fP implies \fIiswcntrl(btowc(c))\fP,
33 but not vice versa.
34 .SH "RETURN VALUE"
35 The \fBiswcntrl\fP function returns non-zero if \fIwc\fP is a wide character
36 belonging to the wide character class "cntrl". Otherwise it returns zero.
37 .SH "CONFORMING TO"
38 ISO/ANSI C, UNIX98
39 .SH "SEE ALSO"
40 .BR iscntrl (3),
41 .BR iswctype (3)
42 .SH NOTES
43 The behaviour of \fBiswcntrl\fP depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the
44 current locale.
