ISWCTYPE(P)		   POSIX Programmer's Manual		   ISWCTYPE(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
       iswctype - test character for a specified class

SYNOPSIS
       #include <wctype.h>

       int iswctype(wint_t wc, wctype_t charclass);

DESCRIPTION
       The iswctype() function shall determine whether the wide-character code
       wc  has	the  character	class  charclass, returning true or false. The
       iswctype() function is defined on WEOF and wide-character codes	corre‐
       sponding to the valid character encodings in the current locale. If the
       wc argument is not in the domain of the function, the result  is	 unde‐
       fined. If the value of charclass is invalid (that is, not obtained by a
       call to wctype() or charclass is invalidated by a  subsequent  call  to
       setlocale() that has affected category LC_CTYPE ) the result is unspec‐
       ified.

RETURN VALUE
       The iswctype() function shall return non-zero (true) if and only if  wc
       has  the	 property  described by charclass.    If charclass is 0, iswc‐
       type() shall return 0.

ERRORS
       No errors are defined.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES
   Testing for a Valid Character
	      #include <wctype.h>
	      ...
	      int yes_or_no;
	      wint_t wc;
	      wctype_t valid_class;
	      ...
	      if ((valid_class=wctype("vowel")) == (wctype_t)0)
		  /* Invalid character class. */
	      yes_or_no=iswctype(wc,valid_class);

       The twelve strings "alnum" , "alpha" , "blank" , "cntrl"	 ,  "digit"  ,
       "graph"	,  "lower"  ,  "print"	,  "punct"  ,  "space" , "upper" , and
       "xdigit" are reserved for the standard character classes. In the	 table
