| .SH NAME |
| iswalpha \- test for alphabetic wide character |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .nf |
| .B #include <wctype.h> |
| .PP |
| .BI "int iswalpha(wint_t " wc ); |
| .fi |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| The |
| .BR iswalpha () |
| function is the wide-character equivalent of the |
| .BR isalpha (3) |
| function. |
| It tests whether |
| .I wc |
| is a wide character |
| belonging to the wide-character class "alpha". |
| .PP |
| The wide-character class "alpha" is a subclass of the |
| wide-character class "alnum", |
| and therefore also a subclass of the wide-character class "graph" and |
| of the wide-character class "print". |
| .PP |
| Being a subclass of the wide-character class "print", |
| the wide-character class |
| "alpha" is disjoint from the wide-character class "cntrl". |
| .PP |
| Being a subclass of the wide-character class "graph", |
| the wide-character class "alpha" is disjoint from |
| the wide-character class "space" and its subclass "blank". |
| .PP |
| Being a subclass of the wide-character class "alnum", |
| the wide-character class "alpha" is disjoint from the |
| wide-character class "punct". |
| .PP |
| The wide-character class "alpha" is disjoint from the wide-character class |
| "digit". |
| .PP |
| The wide-character class "alpha" contains the wide-character classes "upper" |
| and "lower". |
| .PP |
| The wide-character class "alpha" always contains at least the |
| letters \(aqA\(aq to \(aqZ\(aq and \(aqa\(aq to \(aqz\(aq. |
| .SH RETURN VALUE |
| The |
| .BR iswalpha () |
| function returns nonzero |
| if |
| .I wc |
| is a wide character |
| belonging to the wide-character class "alpha". |
| Otherwise, it returns zero. |
