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. .SH ATTRIBUTES For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see .BR attributes (7). .TS allbox; lbx lb lb l l l.
