NAME

6       libw - wide character library
7

SYNOPSIS

9       cc [ flag... ] file...  [ library... ]
10       #include <wchar.h>

DESCRIPTION

14       Historically,  functions in this library provided wide character trans‐
15       lations. This functionality now resides in libc(3LIB).
16
17
18       This library is maintained to provide backward compatibility  for  both
19       runtime  and compilation environments. The shared object is implemented
20       as a filter on libc.so.1. New application development need not  specify
21       -lw.
22

INTERFACES

24       The  shared  object  libw.so.1  provides  the public interfaces defined
25       below. See Intro(3) for additional information on shared object  inter‐
26       faces.
