NAME
iswcntrl - test for control wide character
SYNOPSIS
#include <wctype.h>
int iswcntrl(wint_t wc);
DESCRIPTION
The iswcntrl() function is the wide-character equivalent of the iscn-
trl(3) function. It tests whether wc is a wide character belonging to
the wide-character class "cntrl".
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".
For an unsigned char c, iscntrl(c) implies iswcntrl(btowc(c)), but not
vice versa.
RETURN VALUE
The iswcntrl() function returns nonzero if wc is a wide character be-
longing to the wide-character class "cntrl". Otherwise, it returns
zero.

rent locale.
