nextwctype – iterate through character classes

LIBRARY SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION RETURN VALUES COMPATIBILITY SEE ALSO HISTORY

Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

#include <wctype.h>

wint_t
nextwctype(wint_t ch, wctype_t wct);

The nextwctype() function determines the next character after ch that is a member of character class wct. If ch is -1, the search begins at the first member of wct.

The nextwctype() function returns the next character, or -1 if there are no more.

This function is a non-standard FreeBSD extension and should not be used where the standard iswctype() function would suffice.

The nextwctype() function appeared in FreeBSD 5.4 .
