Usage of wide characters is recommended in Internationalization Programming. Note that message handling is processed based on multibyte characters so you should choose either of the mechanisms on a case to case basis.
The following are the standard C library functions related to wide character:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Function Description -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- mbrtowc() Converts a multibyte character to a wide character (restartable) mbtowc() Converts a multibyte character to a wide character wcrtomb() Converts a wide character to a multibyte character (restartable) wctomb() Converts a wide character to a multibyte character mbsrtowcs() Converts a multibyte string to a wide character string (restartable) mbstowcs() Converts a multibyte string to a wide character string wcsrtombs() Converts a wide character string to a multibyte string (restartable) wcstombs() Converts a wide character string to a multibyte string wcscat() Concatenates two wide character strings wcsncat() Concatenates two wide character strings wcscpy() Copies a wide character string wcsncpy() Copies a wide character string wcscmp() Compares two wide character strings wcsncmp() Compares two wide character strings wcscoll() Compares two wide character strings with collation information wcsxfrm() Transforms a wide character string for string collation wcschr() Searches a wide character in a wide character string wcsrchr() Searches a wide character backward in a wide character string wcspbrk() Searches a wide character string from a set of wide characters wcsstr() Locates a substring in a wide character string wcstok() Splits a wide character string into tokens wcsspn() Counts the wide characters including the specified ones from beginning wcscspn() Counts the wide characters excluding the specified ones from beginning wcstod() Converts a wide character string to a double precision number wcstol() Converts a wide character string to a long integer wcstoul() Converts a wide character string to an unsigned long integer wcsftime() Converts date and time to a wide character string wcslen() Calculates the length of a wide character string iswalnum() Tests for alphanumeric wide character iswalpha() Tests for alphabetic wide character iswcntrl() Tests for control wide character iswdigit() Tests for decimal digit wide character iswgraph() Tests for graphic wide character iswlower() Tests for lowercase wide character iswprint() Tests for printing wide character iswpunct() Tests for punctuation or symbolic wide character iswspace() Tests for whitespace wide character iswupper() Tests for uppercase wide character iswxdigit() Tests for hexadecimal wide character wctype() Classifies a wide character iswctype() Classifies a wide character towupper() Converts a wide character to uppercase towlower() Converts a wide character to lowercase wctrans() Wide character translation mapping towctrans() Wide character transliteration wmemchr() Searches a wide character in a wide character array wmemcmp() Compares two arrays of wide characters wmemcpy() Copies an array of wide characters wmemmove() Copies an array of wide characters wmemset() Fills an array of wide characters with a constant wide character fgetwc() Reads a wide character from a stream getwc() Reads a wide character from a stream getwchar() Reads a wide character from the standard input fgetws() Reads a wide character string from a stream ungetwc() Pushes back a wide character into a stream fputwc() Writes a wide character to a stream putwc() Writes a wide character to a stream putwchar() Writes a wide character to the standard output fputws() Writes a wide character string to a stream fwscanf() Reads and converts data with a wide character format string swscanf() Reads and converts data with a wide character format string wscanf() Reads and converts data with a wide character format string fwprintf() Converts and writes data with a wide character format string swprintf() Converts and writes data with a wide character format string vfwprintf() Converts and writes data with a wide character format string vswprintf() Converts and writes data with a wide character format string vwprintf() Converts and writes data with a wide character format string wprintf() Converts and writes data with a wide character format string fwide() Sets and determines the orientation of a stream wcswcs() Finds a wide substring wcwidth() Determines the columns needed for a wide character wcswidth() Determines the columns needed for a wide character string --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The following are the standard C library functions related to multibyte character:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Function Description ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- mbrlen() Counts the number of bytes in the next multibyte character (restartable) mblen() Counts number of bytes in the next multibyte character mbsinit() Tests for initial shift state -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The following are the mappings of wide character functions and non-wide character functions provided by the standard C library:
--------------------------------------- Non-wide character Wide character function function --------------------------------------- isalnum() iswalnum() isalpha() iswalpha() iscntrl() iswcntrl() isdigit() iswdigit() isgraph() iswgraph() islower() iswlower() isprint() iswprint() ispunct() iswpunct() isspace() iswspace() isupper() iswupper() isxdigit() iswxdigit() tolower() towlower() toupper() towupper() fprintf() fwprintf() fscanf() fwscanf() printf() wprintf() *1) scanf() wscanf() sprintf() swprintf() sscanf() swscanf() vfprintf() vwfprintf() vprintf() vwprintf() vsprintf() vswprintf() fgetc() fgetwc() fgets() fgetws() fputc() fputwc() fputs() fputws() getc() getwc() getchar() getwchar() gets() fgetws() putc() putwc() puts() fputws() putchar() putwchar() ungetc() ungetwc() strtod() wcstod() strtol() wcstol() strtoul() wcstoul() memcpy() wmemcpy() memmove() wmemmove() strcpy() wcscpy() strncpy() wcsncpy() strncat() wcsncat() strcat() wcscat() memcmp() wmemcmp() strcmp() wcscmp() strcoll() wcscoll() strncmp() wcsncmp() strxfrm() wcsxfrm() memchr() wmemchr() strchr() wcschr() strcspn() wcscspn() strpbrk() wcspbrk() strrchr() wcsrchr() strspn() wcsspn() strstr() wcsstr() strtok() wcstok() memset() wmemset() strlen() wcslen() strftime() wcsftime() ---------------------------------------Note that the following wide character functions are deprecated. Use the alternate functions respectively.
------------------------------------------ Deprecated wide Recommended wide character function character function ------------------------------------------ btowc() mbtowc() wctob() wctomb() ------------------------------------------*1)'printf' can cover wide characters with proper conversion characters ("%ls").
