Description
The iswcntrl() function is the wide-character equivalent of the iscntrl(3) function. It tests whether wc
is a wide character belonging to the wide-character class "cntrl".
The wide-character class "cntrl" is disjoint from the wide-character class "print" and therefore also
disjoint from its subclasses "graph", "alpha", "upper", "lower", "digit", "xdigit", "punct".
For an unsigned char c, iscntrl(c) implies iswcntrl(btowc(c)), but not vice versa.
History
POSIX.1-2001, C99.
Library
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
Name
iswcntrl - test for control wide character
Notes
The behavior of iswcntrl() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale.
Return Value
The iswcntrl() function returns nonzero if wc is a wide character belonging to the wide-character class
"cntrl". Otherwise, it returns zero.
