CTYPE(3C) CTYPE(3C)
NAME
ctype: isalpha, isupper, islower, isdigit, isxdigit,
isalnum, isspace, ispunct, isprint, isgraph, iscntrl,
isascii - classify characters
SYNOPSIS
#include <ctype.h>
int isalpha (c)
int c;
. . .
DESCRIPTION
These macros classify character-coded integer values by
table lookup. Each is a predicate returning nonzero for
true, zero for false. Isascii is defined on all integer
values; the rest are defined only where isascii is true and
on the single non-ASCII value EOF [-1; see stdio(3S)].
isalpha c is a letter.
isupper c is an upper-case letter.
islower c is a lower-case letter.
isdigit c is a digit [0-9].
isxdigit c is a hexadecimal digit [0-9], [A-F] or [a-
f].
isalnum c is an alphanumeric (letter or digit).
isspace c is a space, tab, carriage return, newline,
vertical tab, or form-feed.
ispunct c is a punctuation character (neither control
nor alphanumeric).
isprint c is a printing character, code 040 (space)
through 0176 (tilde).
isgraph c is a printing character, like isprint
except false for space.
iscntrl c is a delete character (0177) or an ordinary
control character (less than 040).
isascii c is an ASCII character, code less than 0200.
