.SH NAME
wctype.h \- wide-character classification and mapping utilities
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
\fB#include <wctype.h>\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
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 IEEE\ Std\ 1003.1-2001, Section 2.2, The Compilation Environment)
to enable the visibility of these symbols in this
header. 
.LP
The \fI<wctype.h>\fP header shall define the following types:
.TP 7
\fBwint_t\fP
As described in \fI<wchar.h>\fP .
.TP 7
\fBwctrans_t\fP
A scalar type that can hold values which represent locale-specific
character mappings.
.TP 7
\fBwctype_t\fP
As described in \fI<wchar.h>\fP .
.sp
.LP
The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined
as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.
.sp
.RS

\fBint       iswalnum(wint_t);
int       iswalpha(wint_t);
int       iswblank(wint_t);
int       iswcntrl(wint_t);
int       iswdigit(wint_t);
int       iswgraph(wint_t);
int       iswlower(wint_t);
int       iswprint(wint_t);
int       iswpunct(wint_t);
int       iswspace(wint_t);
int       iswupper(wint_t);
int       iswxdigit(wint_t);
int       iswctype(wint_t, wctype_t);
wint_t    towctrans(wint_t, wctrans_t);
wint_t    towlower(wint_t);
wint_t    towupper(wint_t);
wctrans_t wctrans(const char *);
wctype_t  wctype(const char *);
\fP
.fi
.RE
.LP
The \fI<wctype.h>\fP header shall define the following macro name:
.TP 7
WEOF
Constant expression of type \fBwint_t\fP that is returned by several
MSE functions to indicate end-of-file.
.sp
.LP
For all functions described in this header that accept an argument
of type \fBwint_t\fP, the value is representable as a
\fBwchar_t\fP or equals the value of WEOF. If this argument has any
other value, the behavior is undefined.
.LP
The behavior of these functions shall be affected by the \fILC_CTYPE\fP
category of the current locale.
.LP
Inclusion of the \fI<wctype.h>\fP header may make visible all symbols
from the headers \fI<ctype.h>\fP, \fI<stdarg.h>\fP, \fI<stddef.h>\fP,
\fI<stdio.h>\fP, \fI<stdlib.h>\fP, \fI<string.h>\fP, \fI<time.h>\fP,
and \fI<wchar.h>\fP.
