3.8 isprint, isgraph—printable character predicates

Synopsis

#include <ctype.h>
int isprint(int c);
int isgraph(int c);

Description
isprint is a macro which classifies ASCII integer values by table lookup. It is a predicate returning non-zero for printable characters, and 0 for other character arguments. It is defined only if c is representable as an unsigned char or if c is EOF.

You can use a compiled subroutine instead of the macro definition by undefining either macro using ‘#undef isprint’ or ‘#undef isgraph’.


Returns
isprint returns non-zero if c is a printing character, (0x200x7E). isgraph behaves identically to isprint, except that the space character (0x20) is excluded.


Portability
isprint and isgraph are ANSI C.

No supporting OS subroutines are required.
