The
wcwidth()
function returns the number of columns
needed to represent the wide character c.
If c is a printable wide character, the value
is at least 0.
If c is Laq\0aq, the value is 0.
Otherwise -1 is returned.
RETURN VALUE
The
wcwidth()
function returns the number of
column positions for c.
CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001.
Note that glibc before 2.2.5 used the prototype
int wcwidth(wint_t c);
NOTES
The behavior of
wcwidth()
depends on the
LC_CTYPE
category of the
current locale.
