The ifx_gl_iswpunct() function

The ifx_gl_iswpunct() function determines whether a wide character contains a punctuation character.

Syntax

int ifx_gl_iswpunct(wc)
       gl_wchar_t *wc;

Usage

The ifx_gl_iswpunct() function tests whether wc is in the punct character class according to the rules of the current locale. The punct character class contains the following characters:
  • The single-byte ASCII punctuation characters: ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) - _ = + \ | ' ~ [ ] { } ; : ' , . / < > ?
  • Any non-ASCII punctuation characters that the locale might define

Graphic characters that are not true punctuation characters have traditionally been put in the punct class; instead they are in the graph class. Characters in this class are also in the graph and print classes. No characters in the upper, lower, alpha, digit, xdigit, blank, space, or cntrl classes are in this class.

Locale information

The LC_CTYPE category of the current locale affects the behavior of this function because it defines the punct character class.

Return values

>0
The wc character is in the digit character class.
0
The function was not successful, and the error number is set to indicate the cause. See the Errors section.

Errors
