LIBRARY

       Standard C library (libc)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wchar.h>

       typedef /* ... */  wint_t;

       #define WEOF        /* ... */

       #include <stdint.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       wint_t  is  a  type used in functions that work with wide characters.  It is capable of storing any valid
