+.SH NAME
+iswalpha \- test for alphabetic wide character
+.SH LIBRARY
+Standard C library
+.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <wctype.h>
+.PP
+.BI "int iswalpha(wint_t " wc );
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR iswalpha ()
+function is the wide-character equivalent of the
+.BR isalpha (3)
+function.
+It tests whether
+.I wc
+is a wide character
+belonging to the wide-character class "alpha".
+.PP
+The wide-character class "alpha" is a subclass of the
+wide-character class "alnum",
+and therefore also a subclass of the wide-character class "graph" and
+of the wide-character class "print".
+.PP
+Being a subclass of the wide-character class "print",
+the wide-character class
+"alpha" is disjoint from the wide-character class "cntrl".
+.PP
+Being a subclass of the wide-character class "graph",
+the wide-character class "alpha" is disjoint from
+the wide-character class "space" and its subclass "blank".
+.PP
+Being a subclass of the wide-character class "alnum",
+the wide-character class "alpha" is disjoint from the
+wide-character class "punct".
+.PP
+The wide-character class "alpha" is disjoint from the wide-character class
+"digit".
+.PP
+The wide-character class "alpha" contains the wide-character classes "upper"
+and "lower".
+.PP
+The wide-character class "alpha" always contains at least the
+letters \[aq]A\[aq] to \[aq]Z\[aq] and \[aq]a\[aq] to \[aq]z\[aq].
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR iswalpha ()
+function returns nonzero
+if
+.I wc
+is a wide character
+belonging to the wide-character class "alpha".
+Otherwise, it returns zero.
+.SH ATTRIBUTES
+For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
