NEXTWCTYPE(3)                           BSD Library Functions Manual                           NEXTWCTYPE(3)

NAME
     nextwctype, nextwctype_l -- iterate through character classes

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <wctype.h>

     wint_t
     nextwctype(wint_t ch, wctype_t wct);

     #include <xlocale.h>

     wint_t
     nextwctype_l(wint_t ch, wctype_t wct, locale_t loc);

DESCRIPTION
     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.

     While the nextwctype() function uses the current locale, the nextwctype_l() function may be passed a
     locale directly. See xlocale(3) for more information.

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