wctype.h(0P)		   POSIX Programmer's Manual		  wctype.h(0P)

PROLOG
       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
       Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.

NAME
       wctype.h — wide-character classification and mapping utilities

SYNOPSIS
       #include <wctype.h>

DESCRIPTION
       Some of the functionality described on this reference page extends the
       ISO C standard. Applications shall define the appropriate feature test
       macro (see the System Interfaces volume of POSIX.1‐2017, Section 2.2,
       The Compilation Environment) to enable the visibility of these symbols
       in this header.

       The <wctype.h> header shall define the following types:

       wint_t	   As described in <wchar.h>.

       wctrans_t   A scalar type that can hold values which represent locale-
		   specific character mappings.

       wctype_t	   As described in <wchar.h>.

       The <wctype.h> header shall define the locale_t type as described in
       <locale.h>.

       The <wctype.h> header shall define the following macro:

       WEOF	   As described in <wchar.h>.

       For all functions described in this header that accept an argument of
       type wint_t, the value is representable as a wchar_t or equals the
       value of WEOF. If this argument has any other value, the behavior is
       undefined.

       The behavior of these functions shall be affected by the LC_CTYPE
       category of the current locale.

       Inclusion of the <wctype.h> header may make visible all symbols from
       the headers <ctype.h>, <stdarg.h>, <stddef.h>, <stdio.h>, <stdlib.h>,
       <string.h>, <time.h>, and <wchar.h>.

       The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
       macros. Function prototypes shall be provided for use with ISO C
       standard compilers.
