NAME

getwidth  −  get codeset information

SYNOPSIS

#include <euc.h>
#include <getwidth.h>

void getwidth(eucwidth_t ∗ptr);

DESCRIPTION

The getwidth() function reads the character class table for the current locale to get information on the supplementary codesets.  getwidth() sets this information into the struct eucwidth_t.  This struct is defined in <euc.h> and has the following members:

short int _eucw1,_eucw2,_eucw3;
short int _scrw1,_scrw2,_scrw3;
short int _pcw;
char _multibyte;

Codeset width values for supplementary codesets 1, 2, and 3 are set in _eucw1, _eucw2, and _eucw3, respectively.  Screen width values for supplementary codesets 1, 2, and 3 are set in _scrw1, _scrw2, and _scrw3, respectively. 

The width of Extended Unix Code (EUC) Process Code is set in _pcw.  The _multibyte entry is set to 1 if multibyte characters are used, and set to 0 if only single-byte characters are used.

NOTES

This function can be used safely in a multi-thread application, as long as setlocale(3C) is not being called to change the locale. 

This function will only work with EUC locales.
