Description

       The wcwidth() function returns the number of columns needed to represent the wide character c.  If c is a
       printable  wide character, the value is at least 0.  If c is null wide character (L'\0'), the value is 0.
       Otherwise, -1 is returned.

History

       POSIX.1-2001.

       Note that before glibc 2.2.5, glibc used the prototype

       intwcwidth(wint_tc);

Library

       Standard C library (libc, -lc)
