ISWCNTRL(3) Linux Programmer's Manual ISWCNTRL(3)NAMEiswcntrl - test for control wide character
SYNOPSIS
#include <wctype.h>
int iswcntrl(wint_t wc);
DESCRIPTION
The iswcntrl() function is the wide-character equivalent of the iscn‐
trl(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.
RETURN VALUE
The iswcntrl() function returns nonzero if wc is a wide character
belonging to the wide-character class "cntrl". Otherwise it returns
zero.
ATTRIBUTES
Multithreading (see pthreads(7))
The iswcntrl() function is thread-safe with exceptions. It can be
safely used in multithreaded applications, as long as setlocale(3) is
not called to change the locale during its execution.
CONFORMING TO
C99.
NOTES
The behavior of iswcntrl() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the cur‐
rent locale.
