DESCRIPTION

These functions test whether wc is a wide-character code representing a character of a particular class defined in the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale or the locale specified by loc.

The functions iswalpha_l(), iswideogram_l(), iswnumber_l(), iswphonogram_l(), iswspecial_l(), iswalnum_l(), iswascii_l(), iswblank_l(), iswcntrl_l(), iswdigit_l(), iswgraph_l(), iswlower_l(), iswprint_l(), iswpunct_l(), iswspace_l(), iswupper_l(), all behave identically to their counterparts without the '_l' suffix, but instead of operating on the current locale, they operate on the locale specified by loc.

The functions, iswideogram(), iswnumber(), iswphonogram(), iswspecial(), and iswhexnumber(), are respectively identical to isideogram(), isnumber(), isphonogram(), isspecial(), iswxdigit() respectively. They are provided for compatibility purposes.

In all cases, wc is a wint_t, the value of which must be a wide-character code corresponding to a valid character in the current locale or must equal the value of the macro WEOF. If the argument has any other values, the behavior is undefined.
