NAME
iswpunct - test for a punctuation wide-character code
SYNOPSIS
#include <wctype.h>
int iswpunct(wint_t wc);
DESCRIPTION
The iswpunct() function shall test whether wc is a wide-character
code representing a character of class
punct in the program's current locale; see the Base Definitions
volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Chapter 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 iswpunct() function shall return non-zero if wc is
a punctuation 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 languages,
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.
