.SH NAME

iswalpha \- test for alphabetic wide character
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
.B #include <wctype.h>
|
|
.sp
|
|
.BI "int iswalpha(wint_t " wc );
|

|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.BR iswalpha ()
|
|
function is the wide-character equivalent of the
|
|
.BR isalpha (3)
|
|
function.
|
|
It tests whether \fIwc\fP is a wide character
|
|
belonging to the wide-character class "alpha".
|
|
.PP
|
|
The wide-character class "alpha" is a subclass of the
|
|
wide-character class "alnum",
|
|
and therefore also a subclass of the wide-character class "graph" and
|
|
of the wide-character class "print".
|
|
.PP
|
|
Being a subclass of the wide-character class "print",
|
|
the wide-character class
|
|
"alpha" is disjoint from the wide-character class "cntrl".
|
|
.PP
|
|
Being a subclass of the wide-character class "graph",
|
|
the wide-character class "alpha" is disjoint from
|
|
the wide-character class "space" and its subclass "blank".
|
|
.PP
|
|
Being a subclass of the wide-character class "alnum",
|
|
the wide-character class "alpha" is disjoint from the
|
|
wide-character class "punct".
|
|
.PP
|
|
The wide-character class "alpha" is disjoint from the wide-character class
|
|
"digit".
|
|
.PP
|
|
The wide-character class "alpha" contains the wide-character classes "upper"
|
|
and "lower".
|
|
.PP
|
|
The wide-character class "alpha" always contains at least the letters 'A'
|
|
to 'Z' and 'a' to 'z'.
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
The
|
|
.BR iswalpha ()
|
|
function returns nonzero
|
|
if \fIwc\fP is a wide character
|
|
belonging to the wide-character class "alpha".
|
|
Otherwise it returns zero.
|
|
.SH "CONFORMING TO"
|
|
C99.
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
The behavior of
|
|
.BR iswalpha ()
|
|
depends on the
|
|
.B LC_CTYPE
|
|
category of the
|
|
current locale.
