Wide Character Manipulation Function

wctype_t wctype(const char *property);

Internationalization (I18n) Function Overview

This function is used in conjunction with the iswctype function to identify classes of wide characters.

The wctype function returns a value representing a class of wide characters which is identified by the string property. Beside some standard properties each locale can define its own ones. In case no property with the given name is known for the current locale selected for the LC_CTYPE category, the function returns zero.
