ISWPUNCT(3P)              POSIX Programmer's Manual             ISWPUNCT(3P)

PROLOG         top

       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
       the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       iswpunct, iswpunct_l — test for a punctuation wide-character code

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <wctype.h>
       int iswpunct(wint_t wc);
       int iswpunct_l(wint_t wc, locale_t locale);

DESCRIPTION         top

       For iswpunct(): The functionality described on this reference page is
       aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the
       requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional.
       This volume of POSIX.1‐2008 defers to the ISO C standard.
       The iswpunct() and iswpunct_l() functions shall test whether wc is a
       wide-character code representing a character of class punct in the
       current locale, or in the locale represented by locale, respectively;
       see the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2008, Chapter 7, Locale.
       The wc argument is a wint_t, the value of which the application shall
       ensure is a wide-character code corresponding to a valid character in
       the current locale, or equal to the value of the macro WEOF. If the
       argument has any other value, the behavior is undefined.
       The behavior is undefined if the locale argument to iswpunct_l() is
       the special locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid locale
       object handle.

RETURN VALUE         top

       The iswpunct() and iswpunct_l() functions shall return non-zero if wc
       is a punctuation wide-character code; otherwise, they shall return 0.

ERRORS         top

       No errors are defined.
       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES         top

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE         top

       To ensure applications portability, especially across natural
       languages, only these functions and the functions in the reference
       pages listed in the SEE ALSO section should be used for character
       classification.

RATIONALE         top

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS         top

       None.
