wctype() is defined for valid character class names as defined in the current locale. The charclass is a string identifying a generic character class for which codeset-specific type information is required. The following character class names are defined in all locales:
"alnum", "alpha", "blank", "cntrl", "digit", "graph", "lower", "print",
"punct", "space", "upper" and "xdigit".
Additional character class names defined in the locale definition file (category LC_CTYPE ) can also be specified. The function returns a value of type wctype_t , which can be used as the second argument to subsequent calls of iswctype() . The wctype() function determines values of wctype_t according to the rules of the coded character set defined by character type information in the program ́s locale (category LC_CTYPE ). The values returned by wctype() are valid until a call to setlocale() that modifies the category LC_CTYPE . 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) |
