wchar -- wide-character types

wchar.h- wide-character types

Syntax

#include <wchar.h>

Description

The wchar.h header defines the following data types through

wchar_t
As described in stddef.h.

wint_t
An integral type capable of storing any valid value of wchar_t or WEOF.

wctype_t
A scalar type of a data object that can hold values which represent locale-specific character classification.

mbstate_t
An object type other than an array type that can hold the conversion state information necessary to convert between sequences of (possibly multibyte) characters and wide-characters. If a codeset is being used such that an mbstate_t needs to preserve more than 2 levels of reserved state, the results are unspecified.

FILE
As described in stdio.h.

size_t
As described in stddef.h.

The wchar.h header declares the following as functions and may also define them as macros. Function prototypes must be provided for use with an ISO C compiler.

wchar.h defines the following macro names:


WCHAR_MAX
The maximum value representable by an object of type wchar_t.

WCHAR_MIN
The minimum value representable by an object of type wchar_t.

WEOF
Constant expression of type wint_t that is returned by several WP functions to indicate end-of-file.

NULL
As described in stddef.h.

The tag tm is declared as naming an incomplete structure type, the contents of which are described in the header time.h.
