 NAME

iswcntrl - test for a control wide-character code

 SYNOPSIS



#include <wctype.h>

int iswcntrl(wint_t wc);

 DESCRIPTION

The iswcntrl() function tests whether wc is a wide-character code representing a character of class control in the program's current locale, see the XBD specification, Locale .

In all cases wc is a wint_t, the value of which must be a wide-character code corresponding to a valid character in the current locale or must equal the value of the macro WEOF. If the argument has any other value, the behaviour is undefined.

 RETURN VALUE

The iswcntrl() function returns non-zero if wc is a control wide-character code; otherwise it returns 0.

 ERRORS

No errors are defined.

 EXAMPLES

 FUTURE DIRECTIONS
