28 function is the wide-character equivalent of the
34 belonging to the wide-character class "alpha".
36 The wide-character class "alpha" is a subclass of the
37 wide-character class "alnum",
38 and therefore also a subclass of the wide-character class "graph" and
39 of the wide-character class "print".
41 Being a subclass of the wide-character class "print",
42 the wide-character class
43 "alpha" is disjoint from the wide-character class "cntrl".
45 Being a subclass of the wide-character class "graph",
46 the wide-character class "alpha" is disjoint from
47 the wide-character class "space" and its subclass "blank".
49 Being a subclass of the wide-character class "alnum",
50 the wide-character class "alpha" is disjoint from the
51 wide-character class "punct".
53 The wide-character class "alpha" is disjoint from the wide-character class
56 The wide-character class "alpha" contains the wide-character classes "upper"
59 The wide-character class "alpha" always contains at least the
60 letters \(aqA\(aq to \(aqZ\(aq and \(aqa\(aq to \(aqz\(aq.
64 function returns nonzero
68 belonging to the wide-character class "alpha".
69 Otherwise, it returns zero.
