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
       isprint - test for a printable character
SYNOPSIS
       #include <ctype.h>
       int isprint(int c);

DESCRIPTION
       The isprint() function shall test whether c is  a  character  of  class
       print  in the program's current locale; see the Base Definitions volume
       of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Chapter 7, Locale.
       The c argument is an int, the value  of  which  the  application  shall
       ensure is a character representable as an unsigned char or equal to the
       value of the macro EOF. If the argument has any other value, the behav-
       ior is undefined.
RETURN VALUE
       The  isprint() function shall return non-zero if c is a printable char-
       acter; otherwise, it shall return 0.
ERRORS
       No errors are defined.
       The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
       None.
APPLICATION USAGE
       To ensure applications  portability,  especially  across  natural  lan-
       guages,  only  this  function  and those listed in the SEE ALSO section
       should be used for character classification.
RATIONALE
       None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
