LIBW(3LIB)LIBW(3LIB)NAMElibw - wide character library
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... [ library... ]
#include <wchar.h>
DESCRIPTION
Historically, functions in this library provided wide character trans‐
lations. This functionality now resides in libc(3LIB).
This library is maintained to provide backward compatibility for both
runtime and compilation environments. The shared object is implemented
as a filter on libc.so.1. New application development need not specify
-lw.
INTERFACES
The shared object libw.so.1 provides the public interfaces defined
below. See Intro(3) for additional information on shared object inter‐
faces.
