.SH NAME
wchar.h \- wide-character handling
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
\fB#include <wchar.h>\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
Some of the functionality described on this reference page extends
the ISO\ C standard. Applications shall define
the appropriate feature test macro (see the System Interfaces volume
of IEEE\ Std\ 1003.1-2001, Section 2.2, The Compilation Environment)
to enable the visibility of these symbols in this
header.
.LP
The \fI<wchar.h>\fP header shall define the following types:
.TP 7
\fBwchar_t\fP
As described in \fI<stddef.h>\fP .
.TP 7
\fBwint_t\fP
An integer type capable of storing any valid value of \fBwchar_t\fP
or WEOF.
.TP 7
\fBwctype_t\fP
A scalar type of a data object that can hold values which represent
locale-specific character classification.
.TP 7
\fBmbstate_t\fP
An object type other than an array type that can hold the conversion
state information necessary to convert between sequences
of (possibly multi-byte) characters and wide characters. If a
codeset is being used such that an \fBmbstate_t\fP needs to
preserve more than 2 levels of reserved state, the results are unspecified.
.TP 7
\fBFILE\fP
As described in \fI<stdio.h>\fP .
.TP 7
\fBsize_t\fP
As described in \fI<stddef.h>\fP .
.TP 7
\fBva_list\fP
As described in \fI<stdarg.h>\fP .
.sp
.LP
The implementation shall support one or more programming environments
in which the width of \fBwint_t\fP is no greater than the
width of type \fBlong\fP. The names of these programming environments
can be obtained using the \fIconfstr\fP() function or the \fIgetconf\fP
utility.
.LP
The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined
as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.

The \fI<wchar.h>\fP header shall define the following macros:
.TP 7
WCHAR_MAX
The maximum value representable by an object of type \fBwchar_t\fP.
.TP 7
WCHAR_MIN
The minimum value representable by an object of type \fBwchar_t\fP.
.TP 7
WEOF
Constant expression of type \fBwint_t\fP that is returned by several
WP functions to indicate end-of-file.
.TP 7
NULL
As described in \fI<stddef.h>\fP .
.sp
.LP
The tag \fBtm\fP shall be declared as naming an incomplete structure
type, the contents of which are described in the header \fI<time.h>\fP
\&.
.LP
Inclusion of the \fI<wchar.h>\fP header may make visible all symbols
from the headers \fI<ctype.h>\fP, \fI<string.h>\fP, \fI<stdarg.h>\fP,
\fI<stddef.h>\fP, \fI<stdio.h>\fP, \fI<stdlib.h>\fP, and \fI<time.h>\fP.
.LP
\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
.SH APPLICATION USAGE
.LP
The \fIiswblank\fP() function was a late addition to the ISO\ C standard
and was
introduced at the same time as the ISO\ C standard introduced \fI<wctype.h>\fP,
which contains all of the \fIisw*\fP() functions. The Open Group Base
Specifications had
previously aligned with the MSE working draft and had introduced the
rest of the \fIisw*\fP()
functions into \fI<wchar.h>\fP. For backwards-compatibility, the original
set of
\fIisw*\fP() functions, without \fIiswblank\fP(), are
permitted (as an XSI extension) in \fI<wchar.h>\fP. For maximum portability,
applications should include \fI<wctype.h>\fP in order to obtain declarations
for the
\fIisw*\fP() functions.
.SH RATIONALE
.LP
In the ISO\ C standard, the symbols referenced as XSI extensions are
in \fI<wctype.h>\fP. Their presence here is thus an extension.
.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
.LP
None.
