# SDL\_isgraph(3)

Report if a character is any "printable" except space.

## NAME

SDL\_isgraph - Report if a character is any "printable" except space.

## HEADER FILE

Defined in SDL3/SDL\_stdinc.h

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include "SDL3/SDL.h"
```

**int SDL\_isgraph(int x);**

## DESCRIPTION

Be advised that "printable" has a definition that goes back to text terminals from the dawn of computing, making this a sort of special case function that is not suitable for Unicode (or most any) text management. **WARNING** : Regardless of system locale, this is equivalent to **(SDL\_isprint(x))**&&**((x)**!=**'**') .

## FUNCTION PARAMETERS

- *x*

  character value to check.

## RETURN VALUE

Returns non-zero if x falls within the character class, zero otherwise.

## THREAD SAFETY
