LIBW(3LIB) Interface Libraries LIBW(3LIB)

NAME

libw - wide character library

SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag... ] file... [ library... ]
#include <wchar.h>

DESCRIPTION

Historically, functions in this library provided wide character
translations. This functionality now resides in libc(3LIB).


This library is maintained to provide backward compatibility for both
runtime and compilation environments. The shared object is
implemented as a filter on libc.so.1. New application development
need not specify -lw.

INTERFACES

The shared object libw.so.1 provides the public interfaces defined
below. See Intro(3) for additional information on shared object
interfaces.
