Standard library header <cwchar>

This header was originally in the C standard library as <wchar.h>.

This header is part of the null-terminated wide and multibyte strings libraries. It also provides some C-style I/O functions and conversion from C-style Date.

Macros

implementation-defined null pointer constant
(macro constant)
WEOF
a non-character value of type wint_t used to indicate errors
(macro constant)
WCHAR_MIN
the smallest valid value of wchar_t
(macro constant)
WCHAR_MAX
the largest valid value of wchar_t
(macro constant)

Types

conversion state information necessary to iterate multibyte character strings
(class)
unsigned integer type returned by the sizeof operator
(typedef)
wint_t integer type that can hold any valid wide character and at least one more value
calendar time type
(class)
