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

NAME
       ispunct - test for a punctuation character
SYNOPSIS
       #include <ctype.h>
       int ispunct(int c);

DESCRIPTION
       The ispunct() function shall test whether c is  a  character  of  class
       punct  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  ispunct()  function  shall  return  non-zero if c is a punctuation
       character; otherwise, it shall return 0.
ERRORS
       No errors are defined.

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.
