.SH CONFORMING TO
C89, C99, POSIX.1-2001.
.SH NOTES
Linux (that is, glibc) supports the portable locales
.BR """C""" " and " """POSIX""" .
In the good old days there used to be support for
the European Latin-1
.B """ISO-8859-1"""
locale (e.g., in libc-4.5.21 and libc-4.6.27), and the Russian
.B """KOI-8"""
(more precisely, "koi-8r") locale (e.g., in libc-4.6.27),
so that having an environment variable \fILC_CTYPE=ISO-8859-1\fP
sufficed to make
.BR isprint (3)
return the right answer.
These days non-English speaking Europeans have to work a bit harder,
and must install actual locale files.
