NAME

6       iswcntrl - test for control wide character
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <wctype.h>
10
11       int iswcntrl(wint_t wc);
12

DESCRIPTION

14       The  iswcntrl()  function is the wide-character equivalent of the iscn‐
15       trl(3) function.  It tests whether wc is a wide character belonging  to
16       the wide-character class "cntrl".
17
18       The  wide-character  class  "cntrl" is disjoint from the wide-character
19       class "print" and therefore also disjoint from its subclasses  "graph",
20       "alpha", "upper", "lower", "digit", "xdigit", "punct".
21
22       For  an unsigned char c, iscntrl(c) implies iswcntrl(btowc(c)), but not
23       vice versa.
24

RETURN VALUE

26       The iswcntrl() function returns nonzero if wc is a wide  character  be‐
27       longing  to  the  wide-character  class "cntrl".  Otherwise, it returns
28       zero.

NOTES

44       The behavior of iswcntrl() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the cur‐
45       rent locale.
