3 <<iscntrl>>, <<iscntrl_l>>---control character predicate
13 int iscntrl(int <[c]>);
16 int iscntrl_l(int <[c]>, locale_t <[locale]>);
19 <<iscntrl>> is a macro which classifies singlebyte charset values by table
20 lookup. It is a predicate returning non-zero for control characters, and 0
21 for other characters. It is defined only if <[c]> is representable as an
22 unsigned char or if <[c]> is EOF.
24 <<iscntrl_l>> is like <<iscntrl>> but performs the check based on the
25 locale specified by the locale object locale. If <[locale]> is
26 LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or not a valid locale object, the behaviour is undefined.
28 You can use a compiled subroutine instead of the macro definition by
29 undefining the macro using `<<#undef iscntrl>>' or `<<#undef iscntrl_l>>'.
32 <<iscntrl>>, <<iscntrl_l>> return non-zero if <[c]> is a delete character
33 or ordinary control character.
36 <<iscntrl>> is ANSI C.
37 <<iscntrl_l>> is POSIX-1.2008.
39 No supporting OS subroutines are required.
