.TH ISWPUNCT 3  1999-07-25 "GNU" "Linux Programmer's Manual"
.SH NAME
iswpunct \- test for punctuation or symbolic wide character
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #include <wctype.h>
.sp
.BI "int iswpunct(wint_t " wc );
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBiswpunct\fP() function is the wide-character equivalent of the
\fBispunct\fP() function.
It tests whether \fIwc\fP is a wide character
belonging to the wide-character class "punct".
.PP
The wide-character class "punct" is a subclass of the wide-character class
"graph", and therefore also a subclass of the wide-character class "print".
.PP
The wide-character class "punct" is disjoint from the wide-character class
"alnum" and therefore also disjoint from its subclasses "alpha", "upper",
"lower", "digit", "xdigit".
.PP
Being a subclass of the wide-character class "print",
the wide-character class
"punct" is disjoint from the wide-character class "cntrl".
.PP
Being a subclass of the wide-character class "graph",
the wide-character class
"punct" is disjoint from the wide-character class "space" and its subclass
"blank".
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
The \fBiswpunct\fP() function returns non-zero
if \fIwc\fP is a wide-character
belonging to the wide-character class "punct".
Otherwise it returns zero.
.SH "CONFORMING TO"
C99.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.BR ispunct (3),
.BR iswctype (3)
.SH NOTES
The behaviour of \fBiswpunct\fP() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the
current locale.
.PP
This function's name is a misnomer when dealing with Unicode characters,
because the wide-character class "punct" contains both punctuation characters
and symbol (math, currency, etc.) characters.
