The subprograms defined in Wide_Characters.Handling
are locale independent.
function Character_Set_Version return String;
Returns an implementation-defined
identifier that identifies the version of the character set standard
that is used for categorizing characters by the implementation.
function Is_Control (Item : Wide_Character) return Boolean;
Returns True if
the Wide_Character designated by Item is categorized as other_control;
otherwise returns False.
function Is_Letter (Item : Wide_Character) return Boolean;
Returns True if
the Wide_Character designated by Item is categorized as letter_uppercase,
letter_lowercase, letter_titlecase,
letter_modifier, letter_other,
or number_letter; otherwise returns False.
function Is_Lower (Item : Wide_Character) return Boolean;
Returns True if
the Wide_Character designated by Item is categorized as letter_lowercase;
otherwise returns False.
function Is_Upper (Item : Wide_Character) return Boolean;
Returns True if
the Wide_Character designated by Item is categorized as letter_uppercase;
otherwise returns False.
function Is_Digit (Item : Wide_Character) return Boolean;
Returns True if
the Wide_Character designated by Item is categorized as number_decimal;
otherwise returns False.
function Is_Hexadecimal_Digit (Item : Wide_Character) return Boolean;
Returns True if
the Wide_Character designated by Item is categorized as number_decimal,
or is in the range 'A' .. 'F' or 'a' .. 'f'; otherwise returns False.
function Is_Alphanumeric (Item : Wide_Character) return Boolean;
Returns True if
the Wide_Character designated by Item is categorized as letter_uppercase,
letter_lowercase, letter_titlecase,
letter_modifier, letter_other,
number_letter, or number_decimal;
otherwise returns False.
function Is_Special (Item : Wide_Character) return Boolean;
Returns True if
the Wide_Character designated by Item is categorized as graphic_character,
but not categorized as letter_uppercase, letter_lowercase,
letter_titlecase, letter_modifier,
letter_other, number_letter,
or number_decimal; otherwise returns False.
function Is_Line_Terminator (Item : Wide_Character) return Boolean;
Returns True if
the Wide_Character designated by Item is categorized as separator_line
or separator_paragraph, or if Item is a conventional
line terminator character (Line_Feed, Line_Tabulation, Form_Feed, Carriage_Return,
Next_Line); otherwise returns False.
function Is_Mark (Item : Wide_Character) return Boolean;
Returns True if
the Wide_Character designated by Item is categorized as mark_non_spacing
or mark_spacing_combining; otherwise returns
False.
function Is_Other_Format (Item : Wide_Character) return Boolean;
Returns True if
the Wide_Character designated by Item is categorized as other_format;
otherwise returns False.
function Is_Punctuation_Connector (Item : Wide_Character) return Boolean;
Returns True if
the Wide_Character designated by Item is categorized as punctuation_connector;
otherwise returns False.
function Is_Space (Item : Wide_Character) return Boolean;
Returns True if
the Wide_Character designated by Item is categorized as separator_space;
otherwise returns False.
function Is_Graphic (Item : Wide_Character) return Boolean;
Returns True if
the Wide_Character designated by Item is categorized as graphic_character;
otherwise returns False.
function To_Lower (Item : Wide_Character) return Wide_Character;
Returns the Simple
Lowercase Mapping as defined by documents referenced in the note in Clause
1 of ISO/IEC 10646:2011 of the Wide_Character designated by Item. If
the Simple Lowercase Mapping does not exist for the Wide_Character designated
by Item, then the value of Item is returned.
function To_Lower (Item : Wide_String) return Wide_String;
Returns the result
of applying the To_Lower conversion to each Wide_Character element of
the Wide_String designated by Item. The result is the null Wide_String
if the value of the formal parameter is the null Wide_String. The lower
bound of the result Wide_String is 1.
function To_Upper (Item : Wide_Character) return Wide_Character;
Returns the Simple
Uppercase Mapping as defined by documents referenced in the note in Clause
1 of ISO/IEC 10646:2011 of the Wide_Character designated by Item. If
the Simple Uppercase Mapping does not exist for the Wide_Character designated
by Item, then the value of Item is returned.
function To_Upper (Item : Wide_String) return Wide_String;
Returns the result
of applying the To_Upper conversion to each Wide_Character element of
the Wide_String designated by Item. The result is the null Wide_String
if the value of the formal parameter is the null Wide_String. The lower
bound of the result Wide_String is 1.
Implementation Advice
The string returned by Character_Set_Version should
include either “10646:” or “Unicode”.
8 The results returned by these functions
may depend on which particular version of the 10646 standard is supported
by the implementation (see
2.1).
9 The case insensitive equality comparison
routines provided in
A.4.10, “
String
Comparison” are also available for wide strings (see
A.4.7).
