.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The \fBwctype_t\fP type represents a property which a wide character may or
|
|
|
|
may not have. In other words, it represents a class of wide characters.
|
|
|
|
This type's nature is implementation dependent, but the special value
|
|
|
|
\fI(wctype_t)0\fP denotes an invalid property. Nonzero \fBwctype_t\fP values
|
2005-10-19 08:35:30 +00:00
|
|
|
can be passed to the \fBiswctype\fP() function to actually test whether a given
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
wide character has the property.

|
|
|
The \fBwctype\fP() function returns a property, given by its name. The set of
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
valid names depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale, but the
|
|
|
|
following names are valid in all locales.

.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
2005-10-19 06:54:38 +00:00
|
|
|
The \fBwctype\fP() function returns a property descriptor if the \fIname\fP is
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
valid. Otherwise it returns \fI(wctype_t)0\fP.

.SH NOTES
|
2005-10-19 06:54:38 +00:00
|
|
|
The behaviour of \fBwctype\fP() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
current locale.
