DESCRIPTION
The iswprint() function is the wide-character equivalent of the is-

the wide-character class "print".
The wide-character class "print" is disjoint from the wide-character
class "cntrl".
The wide-character class "print" contains the wide-character class
"graph".
RETURN VALUE
The iswprint() function returns nonzero if wc is a wide character be-
longing to the wide-character class "print". Otherwise, it returns
zero.
