Remarks

These routines test characters for specified conditions.

The is routines produce meaningful results for any integer argument from –1 (EOF) to UCHAR_MAX (0xFF), inclusive. The expected argument type is int.

Warning

For the is routines, passing an argument of type char may yield unpredictable results. An SBCS or MBCS single-byte character of type char with a value greater than 0x7F is negative. If a char is passed, the compiler may convert the value to a signed int or a signed long. This value may be sign-extended by the compiler, with unexpected results.

The isw routines produce meaningful results for any integer value from – 1 (WEOF) to 0xFFFF, inclusive. The wint_t data type is defined in WCHAR.H as an unsigned short; it can hold any wide character or the wide-character end-of-file (WEOF) value.

The output value is affected by the setting of the LC_CTYPE category setting of the locale; see setlocale for more information. The versions of these functions without the _l suffix use the current locale for this locale-dependent behavior; the versions with the _l suffix are identical except that they use the locale parameter passed in instead.

In the "C" locale, the test conditions for the is routines are as follows:

  • isalnum
    Alphanumeric (A – Z, a – z, or 0 – 9).

  • isalpha
    Alphabetic (A – Z or a – z).

  • __isascii
    ASCII character (0x00 – 0x7F).

  • isblank
    Horizontal tab or space character (0x09 or 0x20).

  • iscntrl
    Control character (0x00 – 0x1F or 0x7F).

  • __iscsym
    Letter, underscore, or digit.

  • __iscsymf
    Letter or underscore.

  • isdigit
    Decimal digit (0 – 9).

  • isgraph
    Printable character except space ( ).

  • islower
    Lowercase letter (a – z).

  • isprint
    Printable character including space (0x20 – 0x7E).

  • ispunct
    Punctuation character.

  • isspace
    White-space character (0x09 – 0x0D or 0x20).

  • isupper
    Uppercase letter (A – Z).

  • isxdigit
    Hexadecimal digit (A – F, a – f, or 0 – 9).

For the isw routines, the result of the test for the specified condition is independent of locale. The test conditions for the isw functions are as follows:

  • iswalnum
    iswalpha or iswdigit.

  • iswalpha
    Any wide character that is one of an implementation-defined set for which none of iswcntrl, iswdigit, iswpunct, or iswspace is nonzero. iswalpha returns nonzero only for wide characters for which iswupper or iswlower is nonzero.

  • iswascii
    Wide-character representation of ASCII character (0x0000 – 0x007F).

  • iswblank
    Wide character that corresponds to the standard space character or is one of an implementation-defined set of wide characters for which iswalnum is false. Standard blank characters are space (L' ') and horizontal tab (L'\t').

  • iswcntrl
    Control wide character.

  • __iswcsym
    Any wide character for which isalnum is true, or the '_' character.

  • __iswcsymf
    Any wide character for which iswalpha is true, or the '_' character.

  • iswctype
    Character has property specified by the desc argument. For each valid value of the desc argument of iswctype, there is an equivalent wide-character classification routine, as shown in the following table:

  • iswdigit
    Wide character corresponding to a decimal-digit character.

  • iswgraph
    Printable wide character except space wide character (L' ').

  • iswlower
    Lowercase letter, or one of implementation-defined set of wide characters for which none of iswcntrl, iswdigit, iswpunct, or iswspace is nonzero. iswlower returns nonzero only for wide characters that correspond to lowercase letters.

  • iswprint
    Printable wide character, including space wide character (L' ').

  • iswpunct
    Printable wide character that is neither space wide character (L' ') nor wide character for which iswalnum is nonzero.

  • iswspace
    Wide character that corresponds to standard white-space character or is one of implementation-defined set of wide characters for which iswalnum is false. Standard white-space characters are: space (L' '), formfeed (L'\f'), newline (L'\n'), carriage return (L'\r'), horizontal tab (L'\t'), and vertical tab (L'\v').

  • iswupper
    Wide character that is uppercase or is one of an implementation-defined set of wide characters for which none of iswcntrl, iswdigit, iswpunct, or iswspace is nonzero. iswupper returns nonzero only for wide characters that correspond to uppercase characters.

  • iswxdigit
    Wide character that corresponds to a hexadecimal-digit character.
