NAME

       iswctype - wide-character classification

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wctype.h>

       int iswctype(wint_t wc, wctype_t desc);

DESCRIPTION

       If  wc  is  a wide character having the character property designated by desc (or in other
       words: belongs to the character class designated by desc), the iswctype() function returns
       nonzero.  Otherwise, it returns zero.  If wc is WEOF, zero is returned.

       desc must be a character property descriptor returned by the wctype(3) function.

RETURN VALUE

       The iswctype() function returns nonzero if the wc has the designated property.  Otherwise,
       it returns 0.
