NAME
     wchar.h, wchar - wide-character handling

SYNOPSIS
     #include 


DESCRIPTION
     The  header defines the following types:

     wchart      As described in .


     wintt       An integer type capable of  storing  any  valid
                  value of wchart or WEOF.


     wctypet     A scalar type of a data object  that  can  hold
                  values  which represent locale-specific charac-
                  ter classification.


     mbstatet    An object type other than an  array  type  that
                  can   hold  the  conversion  state  information
                  necessary to convert between sequences of (pos-
                  sibly  multi-byte)  characters and wide charac-
                  ters.  If a codeset is being used such that  an
                  mbstatet  needs to preserve more than two lev-
                  els of reserved state, the results are unspeci-
                  fied.


     FILE         As described in .


     sizet       As described in .


     valist      As described in .



     The implementation supports one or more programming environ-
     ments  in  which  the width of wintt is no greater than the
     width of type long. The names of these programming  environ-
     ments  can be obtained using the confstr(3C) function or the
     getconf(1) utility.


     The  header defines the following macros:

Headers                                            wchar.h(3HEAD)



     WCHARMAX    The maximum value representable by an object of
                  type wchart.


     WCHARMIN    The minimum value representable by an object of
                  type wchart.


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


     NUL         As described in .



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


     Inclusion of the  header can make visible all  sym-
     bols  from  the  headers ,  , ,
