NAME

wint_t, WEOF - integer type capable of storing any wchar_t of WEOF

LIBRARY

Standard C library (libc)

SYNOPSIS

bash

#include <wchar.h>

bash

typedef\n /* ... */  \nwint_t;

bash

#define WEOF        \n/* ... */

bash

#include <stdint.h>

bash

#define WINT_WIDTH  \n/* ... */
\n#define WINT_MAX    \n/* ... */
\n#define WINT_MIN    \n/* ... */

DESCRIPTION

wint_t is a type used in functions that work with wide characters. It is capable of storing any valid wchar_t or WEOF. It is an integer type.

WEOF is used by wide-character functions to indicate the end of an input file or an error. It is of type wint_t.

STANDARDS

C11, POSIX.1-2008.

HISTORY

C99, POSIX.1-2001.

The WINT_WIDTH macro was added in C23.

NOTES

The following header also provides wint_t and WEOF: <wctype.h>.
