ctype.h(0P)                POSIX Programmer's Manual               ctype.h(0P)

PROLOG
       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
       Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.

NAME
       ctype.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.1-2017, 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
       standard 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.
