DESCRIPTION
The above functions are character classification utility functions, for use with wide characters (wchar_t or wint_t). See the description for the similarly-named single byte classification functions (such as isalnum(3)), for details.
Extended locale versions of these functions are documented in iswalnum_l(3). See xlocale(3) for more information.
RETURN VALUES
The functions return zero if the character tests false and return non-zero if the character tests true.
SEE ALSO
isalnum(3), isalpha(3), isascii(3), isblank(3), iscntrl(3), isdigit(3), isgraph(3), ishexnumber(3), isideogram(3), islower(3), isnumber(3), isphonogram(3), isprint(3), ispunct(3), isrune(3), isspace(3), isspecial(3), isupper(3), iswalnum_l(3), isxdigit(3), wctype(3)
STANDARDS
These functions conform to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (“POSIX.1”), except iswascii(), iswhexnumber(), iswideogram(), iswnumber(), iswphonogram(), iswrune(), and iswspecial(), which are FreeBSD extensions.
CAVEATS
The result of these functions is undefined unless the argument is WEOF or a valid wchar_t value for the current locale.
