iswalpha - test for alphabetic wide character

&pagelevel(4)&pagelevel

Syntax

#include <wchar.h>

int iswalpha(wint_t wc);

Description iswalpha tests whether the wide character wc is alphabetic, i.e. a letter.

In all cases, wc is an argument of type wint_t, the value of which must be a wide character
code corresponding to a valid character in the current locale or must equal the value of the
macro WEOF. If the argument wc has any other value, the behavior is undefined.

Return val.

!= 0

0

Alphabetic

Not alphabetic

Notes

iswalpha() is implemented both as a function and as a macro. To generate a function call,
the definition of the macro name must be first undefined (#undef iswalpha).

The behavior of iswalpha() is determined by the class alpha of the current locale. The
current locale is the C locale, unless it was explicitly changed using setlocale().

Restriction
This version of the C runtime system only supports 1-byte characters as wide character
codes. They are of type wchar_t (see stddef.h). (End)
