       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The
       Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
       or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       wctype.h — wide-character classification and mapping utilities

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <wctype.h>

DESCRIPTION         top

       Some of the functionality described on this reference page
       extends the ISO C standard. Applications shall define the
       appropriate feature test macro (see the System Interfaces volume
       of POSIX.1‐2017, Section 2.2, The Compilation Environment) to
       enable the visibility of these symbols in this header.

       The <wctype.h> header shall define the following types:

       wint_t      As described in <wchar.h>.

       wctrans_t   A scalar type that can hold values which represent
                   locale-specific character mappings.

       wctype_t    As described in <wchar.h>.

       The <wctype.h> header shall define the locale_t type as described
       in <locale.h>.

       The <wctype.h> header shall define the following macro:

       WEOF        As described in <wchar.h>.

       For all functions described in this header that accept an
       argument of type wint_t, the value is representable as a wchar_t
       or equals the value of WEOF. If this argument has any other
       value, the behavior is undefined.

       The behavior of these functions shall be affected by the LC_CTYPE
       category of the current locale.

       Inclusion of the <wctype.h> header may make visible all symbols
       from the headers <ctype.h>, <stdarg.h>, <stddef.h>, <stdio.h>,
       <stdlib.h>, <string.h>, <time.h>, and <wchar.h>.

       The following shall be declared as functions and may also be
       defined as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided for use
       with ISO C standard compilers.

           wint_t    towupper(wint_t);
           wint_t    towupper_l(wint_t, locale_t);
