 .SH DESCRIPTION

 .LP
 The \fBwctype()\fR function is defined for valid character class names as
 defined in the current locale. The \fIcharclass\fR is a string identifying a
 generic character class for which codeset-specific type information is
 required. The following character class names are defined in all locales:

 Additional character class names defined in the locale definition file

 The function returns a value of type \fBwctype_t\fR, which can be used as the
-second argument to subsequent calls of \fBiswctype\fR(3C). \fBwctype()\fR
-determines values of \fBwctype_t\fR according to the rules of the coded
-character set defined by character type information in the program's locale
+second argument to subsequent calls of \fBiswctype\fR(3C). The \fBwctype()\fR
+function determines values of \fBwctype_t\fR according to the rules of the coded
+character set defined by character type information in the current locale
 (category \fBLC_CTYPE\fR). The values returned by \fBwctype()\fR are valid

+The function \fBwctype_l()\fR behaves identically to \fBwctype()\fR, except
+instead of operating in the current locale, it operates in the locale
+specified by \fIloc\fR.
