ISWCTYPE(P) ISWCTYPE(P)
NAME
iswctype - test character for a specified class
SYNOPSIS
#include <wctype.h>
int iswctype(wint_t wc, wctype_t charclass);
DESCRIPTION
The iswctype() function shall determine whether the wide-character code wc has the
character class charclass, returning true or false. The iswctype() function is
defined on WEOF and wide-character codes corresponding to the valid character
encodings in the current locale. If the wc argument is not in the domain of the
function, the result is undefined. If the value of charclass is invalid (that is,
not obtained by a call to wctype() or charclass is invalidated by a subsequent call
to setlocale() that has affected category LC_CTYPE ) the result is unspecified.
RETURN VALUE
The iswctype() function shall return non-zero (true) if and only if wc has the
property described by charclass. If charclass is 0, iswctype() shall return 0.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
Testing for a Valid Character
#include <wctype.h>
...
int yes_or_no;
wint_t wc;
wctype_t valid_class;
...
if ((valid_class=wctype("vowel")) == (wctype_t)0)
/* Invalid character class. */
yes_or_no=iswctype(wc,valid_class);
APPLICATION USAGE
The twelve strings "alnum" , "alpha" , "blank" , "cntrl" , "digit" , "graph" ,
"lower" , "print" , "punct" , "space" , "upper" , and "xdigit" are reserved for the
standard character classes. In the table below, the functions in the left column
are equivalent to the functions in the right column.
iswalnum(wc) iswctype(wc, wctype("alnum"))
iswalpha(wc) iswctype(wc, wctype("alpha"))
iswblank(wc) iswctype(wc, wctype("blank"))
iswcntrl(wc) iswctype(wc, wctype("cntrl"))
iswdigit(wc) iswctype(wc, wctype("digit"))
iswgraph(wc) iswctype(wc, wctype("graph"))
iswlower(wc) iswctype(wc, wctype("lower"))
iswprint(wc) iswctype(wc, wctype("print"))
iswpunct(wc) iswctype(wc, wctype("punct"))
iswspace(wc) iswctype(wc, wctype("space"))
iswupper(wc) iswctype(wc, wctype("upper"))
