| Note: This function's behaviour depends on the locale, but does not support |
| the multibyte characters that occur in strings in locales with |
| @code{MB_CUR_MAX > 1} (this includes all the common UTF-8 locales). |
| There are four alternative APIs: |
| |
| @table @code |
| @item c_ispunct |
| This function operates in a locale independent way and returns true only for |
| ASCII characters. It is provided by the Gnulib module @samp{c-ctype}. |
| |
| @item iswpunct |
| This function operates in a locale dependent way, on wide characters. In |
| order to use it, you first have to convert from multibyte to wide characters, |
| using the @code{mbrtowc} function. It is provided by the Gnulib module |
| @samp{wctype}. |
| |
| @item mb_ispunct |
| This function operates in a locale dependent way, on multibyte characters. |
| It is provided by the Gnulib module @samp{mbchar}. |
| |
| @item uc_is_punct |
| This function operates in a locale independent way, on Unicode characters. |
| It is provided by the Gnulib module @samp{unictype/ctype-punct}. |
