Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
not be implemented on Linux.
NAMEctype.h — character types
SYNOPSIS
#include <ctype.h>
DESCRIPTION
Some of the functionality described on this reference page extends the
ISO C standard. Applications shall define the appropriate feature test
macro (see the System Interfaces volume of POSIX.1‐2008, Section 2.2,
The Compilation Environment) to enable the visibility of these symbols
in this header.
The <ctype.h> header shall define the locale_t type as described in
<locale.h>, representing a locale object.
The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
macros. Function prototypes shall be provided for use with ISO C stan‐
dard compilers.
int isalnum(int);
int isalnum_l(int, locale_t);
int isalpha(int);
int isalpha_l(int, locale_t);
int isascii(int);
int isblank(int);
int isblank_l(int, locale_t);
int iscntrl(int);
int iscntrl_l(int, locale_t);
int isdigit(int);
int isdigit_l(int, locale_t);
int isgraph(int);
int isgraph_l(int, locale_t);
int islower(int);
int islower_l(int, locale_t);
int isprint(int);
int isprint_l(int, locale_t);
int ispunct(int);
int ispunct_l(int, locale_t);
int isspace(int);
int isspace_l(int, locale_t);
int isupper(int);
int isupper_l(int, locale_t);
int isxdigit(int);
int isxdigit_l(int, locale_t);
int toascii(int);
int tolower(int);
int tolower_l(int, locale_t);
int toupper(int);
int toupper_l(int, locale_t);
The <ctype.h> header shall define the following as macros:
int _toupper(int);
int _tolower(int);
The following sections are informative.
APPLICATION USAGE
