PROLOG
       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
       iswpunct, iswpunct_l — test for a punctuation wide-character code


SYNOPSIS
       #include <wctype.h>

       int iswpunct(wint_t wc);
       int iswpunct_l(wint_t wc, locale_t locale);


DESCRIPTION
       For  iswpunct():  The  functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard.
       Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume
       of POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.

       The  iswpunct()  and iswpunct_l() functions shall test whether wc is a wide-character code representing a
       character of class punct in the current locale, or in the locale represented by locale, respectively; see
       the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2017, Chapter 7, Locale.

       The  wc  argument  is  a wint_t, the value of which the application shall ensure is a wide-character code
       corresponding to a valid character in the locale used by the function, or equal to the value of the macro
       WEOF. If the argument has any other value, the behavior is undefined.

       The  behavior  is  undefined  if  the  locale  argument  to  iswpunct_l()  is  the  special locale object
       LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid locale object handle.


RETURN VALUE
       The iswpunct() and iswpunct_l() functions shall return non-zero if wc  is  a  punctuation  wide-character
       code; otherwise, they shall return 0.


ERRORS
       No errors are defined.

       The following sections are informative.


EXAMPLES
       None.


APPLICATION USAGE
       To  ensure  applications  portability,  especially across natural languages, only these functions and the
       functions in the  reference  pages  listed  in  the  SEE  ALSO  section  should  be  used  for  character
       classification.


RATIONALE
       None.


FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
