iswalpha

NAME

iswalpha - test for alphabetic wide character

SYNOPSIS

#include <wctype.h>
 I int iswalpha(wint_t  wc );

DESCRIPTION

The R iswalpha () function is the wide-character equivalent of the isalpha(3) function. It tests whether wc is a wide character belonging to the wide-character class "alpha".
The wide-character class "alpha" is a subclass of the wide-character class "alnum", and therefore also a subclass of the wide-character class "graph" and of the wide-character class "print".
Being a subclass of the wide-character class "print", the wide-character class "alpha" is disjoint from the wide-character class "cntrl".
Being a subclass of the wide-character class "graph", the wide-character class "alpha" is disjoint from the wide-character class "space" and its subclass "blank".
Being a subclass of the wide-character class "alnum", the wide-character class "alpha" is disjoint from the wide-character class "punct".
The wide-character class "alpha" is disjoint from the wide-character class "digit".
The wide-character class "alpha" contains the wide-character classes "upper" and "lower".
The wide-character class "alpha" always contains at least the letters 'A' to 'Z' and 'a' to 'z'.

RETURN VALUE

The R iswalpha () function returns non-zero if wc is a wide character belonging to the wide-character class "alpha". Otherwise it returns zero.

CONFORMING TO

C99.

NOTES

The behavior of R iswalpha () depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale.
