ISCNTRL(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual ISCNTRL(3P)
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.
iscntrl, iscntrl_l — test for a control character
#include <ctype.h>
int iscntrl(int c);
int iscntrl_l(int c, locale_t locale);
For iscntrl(): The functionality described on this reference page is
aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the
requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional.
This volume of POSIX.1‐2008 defers to the ISO C standard.
The iscntrl() and iscntrl_l() functions shall test whether c is a
character of class cntrl in the current locale, or in the locale
represented by locale, respectively; see the Base Definitions volume
of POSIX.1‐2008, Chapter 7, Locale.
The c argument is a type 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 behavior is undefined.
The behavior is undefined if the locale argument to iscntrl_l() is
the special locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid locale
object handle.
The iscntrl() and iscntrl_l() functions shall return non-zero if c is
a control character; otherwise, they shall return 0.
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
None.
To ensure applications portability, especially across natural
languages, only these functions and the functions in the reference
pages listed in the SEE ALSO section should be used for character
classification.
None.
