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 (like isalnum(3)), for details.
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), 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.
