DESCRIPTION

     These  functions  check  whether  c,  which  must  have the value of an
     unsigned char or EOF, falls into a certain character class according to
     the  specified  locale.   The functions without the "_l" suffix perform
     the check based on the current locale.
     The functions with the "_l" suffix  perform  the  check  based  on  the
     locale  specified  by  the locale object locale.  The behavior of these
     functions  is  undefined  if  locale  is  the  special  locale   object
     LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE  (see  duplocale(3))  or  is not a valid locale object
     handle.
     The list below explains the operation of the functions without the "_l"
     suffix;  the  functions  with  the "_l" suffix differ only in using the
     locale object locale instead of the current locale.
     isalnum()
            checks for an alphanumeric character; it is equivalent to (isal-
            pha(c) || isdigit(c)).
     isalpha()
            checks  for an alphabetic character; in the standard "C" locale,
            it  is  equivalent  to  (isupper(c)  ||  islower(c)).   In  some
            locales,  there may be additional characters for which isalpha()
            is true--letters which are neither uppercase nor lowercase.
     isascii()
            checks whether c is a 7-bit unsigned char value that  fits  into
            the ASCII character set.
     isblank()
            checks for a blank character; that is, a space or a tab.
     iscntrl()
            checks for a control character.
     isdigit()
            checks for a digit (0 through 9).
     isgraph()
            checks for any printable character except space.
     islower()
            checks for a lowercase character.
     isprint()
            checks for any printable character including space.
     ispunct()
            checks  for  any  printable character which is not a space or an
            alphanumeric character.
     isspace()
            checks for white-space  characters.   In  the  "C"  and  "POSIX"
            locales,  these  are:  space,  form-feed ('\f'), newline ('\n'),
            carriage return ('\r'), horizontal tab ('\t'), and vertical  tab
            ('\v').
     isupper()
            checks for an uppercase letter.
     isxdigit()
            checks for hexadecimal digits, that is, one of
            0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f A B C D E F.

RETURN VALUE

     The  values  returned  are  nonzero  if  the character c falls into the
     tested class, and zero if not.

VERSIONS

     isalnum_l(),  isalpha_l(),   isblank_l(),   iscntrl_l(),   isdigit_l(),
     isgraph_l(),  islower_l(), isprint_l(), ispunct_l(), isspace_l(), isup-
     per_l(), isxdigit_l(), and isascii_l() are available since glibc 2.3.

CONFORMING TO

     C89 specifies isalnum(), isalpha(),  iscntrl(),  isdigit(),  isgraph(),
     islower(),  isprint(), ispunct(), isspace(), isupper(), and isxdigit(),
     but not isascii() and isblank().   POSIX.1-2001  also  specifies  those
     functions, and also isascii() (as an XSI extension) and isblank().  C99
     specifies all of the preceding functions, except isascii().
     POSIX.1-2008 marks isascii() as obsolete, noting that it cannot be used
     portably in a localized application.
     POSIX.1-2008  specifies  isalnum_l(),  isalpha_l(),  isblank_l(), iscn-
     trl_l(),   isdigit_l(),    isgraph_l(),    islower_l(),    isprint_l(),
     ispunct_l(), isspace_l(), isupper_l(), and isxdigit_l().
     isascii_l() is a GNU extension.

NOTES

     The standards require that the argument c for these functions is either
     EOF or a value that is representable in the type unsigned char.  If the
     argument c is of type char, it must be cast to unsigned char, as in the
     following example:
         char c; ...  res = toupper((unsigned char) c);
     This is necessary because char may be the equivalent of signed char, in
     which  case a byte where the top bit is set would be sign extended when
     converting to int, yielding a  value  that  is  outside  the  range  of
     unsigned char.
     The  details  of  what  characters  belong to which class depend on the
     locale.  For example, isupper() will not recognize an A-umlaut () as an
     uppercase letter in the default C locale.
