ISALPHA(3)                NetBSD Programmer's Manual                ISALPHA(3)


NAME

     isalpha - alphabetic character test


LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)


SYNOPSIS

     #include <ctype.h>

     int
     isalpha(int c);


DESCRIPTION

     The isalpha() function tests for any character for which isupper(3) or
     islower(3) is true and for which none of iscntrl(3), isdigit(3),
     ispunct(3), or isspace(3) is true.  In the ``C'' locale, isalpha() re-
     turns true only for the characters for which isupper(3) or islower(3) is
     true.


RETURN VALUES

     The isalpha() macro returns zero if the character tests false and returns
     non-zero if the character tests true.

     stdio(3), toascii(3), tolower(3), toupper(3), ascii(7)


STANDARDS

     The isalpha() function conforms to ANSI X3.159-1989 (``ANSI C'').
