       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.1‐2008, 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.
