ISWALPHA(P)		   POSIX Programmer's Manual		   ISWALPHA(P)

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
       iswalpha - test for an alphabetic wide-character code

SYNOPSIS
       #include <wctype.h>

       int iswalpha(wint_t wc);

DESCRIPTION
       The iswalpha() function shall test whether wc is a wide-character  code
       representing  a	character  of  class  alpha  in	 the program's current
       locale; see the Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001,	 Chap‐
       ter 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  current  locale,  or  equal to the value of the macro WEOF. If the
       argument has any other value, the behavior is undefined.

RETURN VALUE
       The iswalpha() function shall return non-zero if wc  is	an  alphabetic
       wide-character code; otherwise, it shall return 0.

ERRORS
       No errors are defined.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES
       None.

APPLICATION USAGE
       To  ensure  applications	 portability,  especially  across natural lan‐
       guages, only this function and those listed in  the  SEE	 ALSO  section
       should be used for classification of wide-character codes.

RATIONALE
       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
