.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions check whether
|
|
.IR c ,
|
|
which must have the value of an
|
|
.I unsigned char
|
|
or
|
|
.BR EOF ,
|
|
falls into a certain character class according to the current locale.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR isalnum ()
|
|
checks for an alphanumeric character; it is equivalent to
|
|
.BI "(isalpha(" c ") || isdigit(" c "))" \fR.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR isalpha ()
|
|
checks for an alphabetic character; in the standard \fB"C"\fP
|
|
locale, it is equivalent to
|
|
.BI "(isupper(" c ") || islower(" c "))" \fR.
|
|
In some locales, there may be additional characters for which
|
|
.BR isalpha ()
|
|
is true\(emletters which are neither upper case nor lower
|
|
case.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR isascii ()
|
|
checks whether \fIc\fP is a 7-bit
|
|
.I unsigned char
|
|
value that fits into
|
|
the ASCII character set.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR isblank ()
|
|
checks for a blank character; that is, a space or a tab.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR iscntrl ()
|
|
checks for a control character.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR isdigit ()
|
|
checks for a digit (0 through 9).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR isgraph ()
|
|
checks for any printable character except space.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR islower ()
|
|
checks for a lower-case character.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR isprint ()
|
|
checks for any printable character including space.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR ispunct ()
|
|
checks for any printable character which is not a space or an
|
|
alphanumeric character.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR isspace ()
|
|
checks for white-space characters.
|
|
In the
|
|
.B """C"""
|
|
and
|
|
.B """POSIX"""
|
|
locales, these are: space, form-feed
|
|
.RB ( \(aq\ef\(aq ),
|
|
newline
|
|
.RB ( \(aq\en\(aq ),
|
|
carriage return
|
|
.RB ( \(aq\er\(aq ),
|
|
horizontal tab
|
|
.RB ( \(aq\et\(aq ),
|
|
and vertical tab
|
|
.RB ( \(aq\ev\(aq ).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR isupper ()
|
|
checks for an uppercase letter.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR isxdigit ()
|
|
checks for a hexadecimal digits, that is, one of
|
|
.br
|
|
.BR "0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f A B C D E F" .
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
The values returned are nonzero if the character
|
|
.I c
|
|
falls into the tested class, and a zero value
|
|
if not.
|
|
.SH "CONFORMING TO"
|
|
C99, 4.3BSD.
|
|
C89 specifies all of these functions except
|
|
.BR isascii ()
|
|
and
|
|
.BR isblank ().
|
|
.BR isascii ()
|
|
is a BSD extension
|
|
and is also an SVr4 extension.
|
|
.BR isblank ()
|
|
conforms to POSIX.1-2001 and C99 7.4.1.3.
|
|
POSIX.1-2008 marks
|
|
.BR isascii ()
|
|
as obsolete,
|
|
noting that it cannot be used portably in a localized application.
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
The details of what characters belong into which class depend on the current
|
|
locale.
|
|
For example,
|
|
.BR isupper ()
|
|
will not recognize an A-umlaut (\(:A) as an uppercase letter in the default
|
|
.B "C"
|
|
locale.
