19 Some of the functionality described on this reference page extends the
20 ISO C standard. Applications shall define the appropriate feature test
21 macro (see the System Interfaces volume of POSIX.1‐2008, Section 2.2,
22 The Compilation Environment) to enable the visibility of these symbols
23 in this header.
24 The <wctype.h> header shall define the following types:
26 wint_t As described in <wchar.h>.
28 wctrans_t A scalar type that can hold values which represent locale-
30 specific character mappings.
31 wctype_t As described in <wchar.h>.
33 The <wctype.h> header shall define the locale_t type as described in
35 <locale.h>.
36 The <wctype.h> header shall define the following macro:
38 WEOF As described in <wchar.h>.
40 For all functions described in this header that accept an argument of
42 type wint_t, the value is representable as a wchar_t or equals the
43 value of WEOF. If this argument has any other value, the behavior is
44 undefined.
45 The behavior of these functions shall be affected by the LC_CTYPE cate‐
47 gory of the current locale.
48 Inclusion of the <wctype.h> header may make visible all symbols from
50 the headers <ctype.h>, <stdarg.h>, <stddef.h>, <stdio.h>, <stdlib.h>,
51 <string.h>, <time.h>, and <wchar.h>.
52 The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
54 macros. Function prototypes shall be provided for use with ISO C stan‐
55 dard compilers.
