.SH NAME
iswalpha \- test for alphabetic wide character
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #include <wctype.h>
.sp
.BI "int iswalpha(wint_t " wc );
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR iswalpha ()
function is the wide-character equivalent of the
.BR isalpha (3)
function.
It tests whether \fIwc\fP is a wide character
belonging to the wide-character class "alpha".
.PP
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".
.PP
Being a subclass of the wide-character class "print",
the wide-character class
"alpha" is disjoint from the wide-character class "cntrl".
.PP
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".
.PP
Being a subclass of the wide-character class "alnum",
the wide-character class "alpha" is disjoint from the
wide-character class "punct".
.PP
The wide-character class "alpha" is disjoint from the wide-character class
"digit".
.PP
The wide-character class "alpha" contains the wide-character classes "upper"
and "lower".
.PP
The wide-character class "alpha" always contains at least the letters 'A'
to 'Z' and 'a' to 'z'.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
The
.BR iswalpha ()
function returns non-zero
if \fIwc\fP is a wide character
belonging to the wide-character class "alpha".
Otherwise it returns zero.
.SH "CONFORMING TO"
C99.
.SH NOTES
The behavior of
.BR iswalpha ()
depends on the
.B LC_CTYPE
category of the
current locale.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.BR isalpha (3),
.BR iswctype (3)
