#include <wchar.h> wctype_t wctype(const char *charclass);
wctype_t wctype_l(const char *charclass, locale_t loc);
The wctype() function 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" "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(3C). The wctype() function determines values of wctype_t according to the rules of the coded character set defined by character type information in the current locale (category LC_CTYPE). The values returned by wctype() are valid only in the locale, or locales with the same LC_CTYPE category.
The function wctype_l() behaves identically to wctype(), except instead of operating in the current locale, it operates in the locale specified by loc.
These functions return 0 if the given character class name is not valid for the locale (category LC_CTYPE); otherwise it returns an object of type wctype_t that can be used in calls to iswctype(3C).
