.SH NAME
iswcntrl \- test for control wide character
.SH LIBRARY
Standard C library
.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #include <wctype.h>
.P
.BI "int iswcntrl(wint_t " wc );
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR iswcntrl ()
function is the wide-character equivalent of the
.BR iscntrl (3)
function.
It tests whether
.I wc
is a wide character
belonging to the wide-character class "cntrl".
.P
The wide-character class "cntrl" is disjoint from the wide-character class
"print" and therefore also disjoint from its subclasses "graph", "alpha",
"upper", "lower", "digit", "xdigit", "punct".
.P
For an unsigned char
.IR c ,
.I iscntrl(c)
implies
.IR iswcntrl(btowc(c)) ,
but not vice versa.
.SH RETURN VALUE
The
.BR iswcntrl ()
function returns nonzero if
.I wc
is a
wide character belonging to the wide-character class "cntrl".
Otherwise, it returns zero.
