LIBRARY
       Standard C Library (libc)

STANDARDS
       Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry	 stan‐
       dards as follows:

       iswalnum(), iswalpha(), iswcntrl(), iswdigit(), iswgraph(), iswlower(),
       iswprint(), iswpunct(), iswspace(), iswupper(), iswxdigit(): XSH5.0

       Refer to the standards(5) reference page	 for  more  information	 about
       industry standards and associated tags.

PARAMETERS
       Specifies a wide character for testing.

DESCRIPTION
       These  functions test a wide character wc for membership in a character
       class in the current locale. Each function tests to see if a wide char‐
       acter is part of a different character class.

       If  the	wide character is part of the character class, these functions
       return a nonzero value for true; otherwise, they return a  value	 of  0
       (zero) for false.

       Each  function  is  named  by  adding the prefix isw to the name of the
       character class that the function tests. For  example,  the  iswalpha()
       function tests whether the wide character specified by the wc parameter
       belongs to the alpha class.

       The following list identifies each function and	describes  the	condi‐
       tions  under  which  it returns a true value: When wc is a character of
       class alpha or class digit in the program's current locale.  When wc is
       a  character of class alpha in the program's current locale. Characters
       in classes lower and upper automatically belong to class	 alpha.	  When
       wc is a character of class cntrl in the program's current locale.  When
       wc is a character of class digit in the program's current  locale.  The
       following characters are included in this class:

	      0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 When wc is a character of class graph in the
	      program's current locale. Characters in  classes	alpha,	digit,
	      and  punct  are automatically in class graph. Unlike iswprint(),
	      iswgraph() returns FALSE for the space character.	 When wc is  a
	      character	 of  class lower in the program's current locale. At a
	      minimum, the 26 lowercase US-ASCII characters  are  included  in
	      this class. These are:

	      a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z When wc is a
	      character of class print in the program's	 current  locale.  All
	      characters  in the class graph and the space character are auto‐
	      matically included in class print.  When wc is  a	 character  of
	      class punct in the program's current locale.  When wc is a char‐
	      acter of class space in the program's current locale. At a mini‐
	      mum,  the	 space,	 form-feed, newline, carriage-return, tab, and
	      vertical-tab characters are included in this class.  When wc  is
	      a character of class upper in the program's current locale. At a
	      minimum, the 26 uppercase US-ASCII characters  are  included  in
	      this class. These are:

	      A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z When wc is a
	      character of class xdigit in the program's current  locale.  The
	      following characters are included in this class:

	      0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F a b c d e f

       These  functions	 determine  the class of a wide character based on the
       LC_CTYPE locale category.

NOTES
       [Tru64 UNIX]  The iswdigit(), iswxdigit(), and iswalnum() functions  do
       not  recognize  Thai  digits.  Many applications make assumptions about
       how a digit character can  be  converted	 to  its  numeric  equivalent.
       Changing	 the  functions	 to  recognize	Thai  digits would break these
       applications. Refer to TACTIS(5) for more information about  Thai  dig‐
       its.

RETURN VALUES
       If the wide character tested is part of the particular character class,
       these functions return a nonzero value; otherwise, they return a	 value
       of 0 (zero).

       If  the input value (wc) is not in the range of wide characters defined
       by the current locale, the result is undefined.	To check the range  of
       input  values,  compile applications with standard compile options such
       as -DOPEN_SOURCE. If the application compiles with any of the  standard
       compile	options,  the  interfaces  documented  in  this reference page
       resolve as functions, which perform internal range checking.  A default
       compilation (that is, no standard compile options specified) results in
       resolution of the interfaces as macros, which do not  perform  internal
       range checking.
