.TH GETWIDTH 3C "Dec 20, 1996"
.SH NAME
getwidth \- get codeset information
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
#include <euc.h>
#include <getwidth.h>

\fBvoid\fR \fBgetwidth\fR(\fBeucwidth_t *\fR\fIptr\fR);
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBgetwidth()\fR function reads the character class table for the current
locale to get information on the supplementary codesets. \fBgetwidth()\fR sets
this information into the struct \fBeucwidth_t\fR. This struct is defined in
<\fBeuc.h\fR> and has the following members:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
short int   _eucw1,_eucw2,_eucw3;
short int   _scrw1,_scrw2,_scrw3;
short int   _pcw;
char        _multibyte;
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
Codeset width values for supplementary codesets 1, 2, and 3 are set in
\fB_eucw1\fR, \fB_eucw2\fR, and \fB_eucw3\fR, respectively. Screen width values
for supplementary codesets 1, 2, and 3 are set in \fB_scrw1\fR, \fB_scrw2\fR,
and \fB_scrw3\fR, respectively.
.sp
.LP
The width of  Extended Unix Code (EUC) Process Code is set in \fB_pcw\fR. The
\fB_multibyte\fR entry is set to \fB1\fR if multibyte characters are used, and
set to \fB0\fR if only single-byte characters are used.

.SH NOTES
.sp
.LP
The \fBgetwidth()\fR function can be used safely in a multithreaded
application, as long as \fBsetlocale\fR(3C) is not being called to change the
locale.
.sp
.LP
The \fBgetwidth()\fR function will only work with \fBEUC\fR locales.
