+.Dt WCWIDTH 3
+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm wcwidth
+.Nd "number of column positions of a wide-character code"
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In wchar.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn wcwidth "wchar_t wc"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn wcwidth
+function determines the number of column positions required to
+display the wide character
+.Fa wc .
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn wcwidth
+function returns 0 if the
+.Fa wc
+argument is a null wide character (L'\e0'),
+\-1 if
+.Fa wc
+is not printable,
+otherwise it returns the number of column positions the
+character occupies.
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+This code fragment reads text from standard input and
+breaks lines that are more than 20 column positions wide,
+similar to the
+.Xr fold 1
+utility:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+wint_t ch;
+int column, w;
+
+column = 0;
+while ((ch = getwchar()) != WEOF) {
+	w = wcwidth(ch);
+	if (w > 0 && column + w >= 20) {
+		putwchar(L'\en');
+		column = 0;
+	}
+	putwchar(ch);
+	if (ch == L'\en')
+		column = 0;
+	else if (w > 0)
+		column += w;
+}
