 109 .SH DESCRIPTION

 111 .LP
 112 These functions test whether \fIwc\fR is a wide-character code representing a
 113 character of a particular class defined in the \fBLC_CTYPE\fR category of the
 114 current locale.
 115 .sp
 116 .LP













 117 In all cases, \fIwc\fR is a \fBwint_t\fR, the value of which must be a
 118 wide-character code corresponding to a valid character in the current locale or
 119 must equal the value of the macro \fBWEOF\fR. If the argument has any other
 120 values, the behavior is undefined.

 194 .LP
 195 These functions test whether \fIwc\fR is a wide-character code representing a
 196 character of a particular class defined in the \fBLC_CTYPE\fR category of the
 197 current locale or the locale specified by \fIloc\fR.

 198 .LP
 199 The functions \fBiswalpha_l()\fR, \fBiswideogram_l()\fR, \fBiswnumber_l()\fR,
 200 \fBiswphonogram_l()\fR, \fBiswspecial_l()\fR, \fBiswalnum_l()\fR,

 202 \fBiswgraph_l()\fR, \fBiswlower_l()\fR, \fBiswprint_l()\fR, \fBiswpunct_l()\fR,
 203 \fBiswspace_l()\fR, \fBiswupper_l()\fR, all behave identically to their
 204 counterparts without the '\fB_l\fR' suffix, but instead of operating on the
 205 current locale, they operate on the locale specified by \fIloc\fR.
 206 .LP
 207 The functions, \fBiswideogram()\fR, \fBiswnumber()\fR, \fBiswphonogram()\fR,
 208 \fBiswspecial()\fR, and \fBiswhexnumber()\fR, are respectively identical to
 209 \fBisideogram()\fR, \fBisnumber()\fR, \fBisphonogram()\fR, \fBisspecial()\fR,
 210 \fBiswxdigit()\fR respectively.  They are provided for compatability purposes.
 211 .LP
 212 In all cases, \fIwc\fR is a \fBwint_t\fR, the value of which must be a
 213 wide-character code corresponding to a valid character in the current locale or
 214 must equal the value of the macro \fBWEOF\fR. If the argument has any other
