iswctype3
Wide-character classification
Usage
#include <wctype.h>
int iswctype(wint_t wc, wctype_t desc);
Library
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
Overview
If wc is a wide character having the character property designated by desc (or in other words: belongs to the character class designated by desc), then the iswctype() function returns nonzero. Otherwise, it returns zero. If wc is WEOF, zero is returned.
desc must be a character property descriptor returned by the wctype(3) function.
Return value
The iswctype() function returns nonzero if the wc has the designated property. Otherwise, it returns 0.
