LIBRARY

Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

#include <ctype.h>

int

digittoint_l(int c, locale_t loc);

int

isalnum_l(int c, locale_t loc);

int

isalpha_l(int c, locale_t loc);

int

iscntrl_l(int c, locale_t loc);

int

isdigit_l(int c, locale_t loc);

int

isgraph_l(int c, locale_t loc);

int

ishexnumber_l(int c, locale_t loc);

int

isideogram_l(int c, locale_t loc);

int

islower_l(int c, locale_t loc);

int

isnumber_l(int c, locale_t loc);

int

isphonogram_l(int c, locale_t loc);

int

isspecial_l(int c, locale_t loc);

int

isprint_l(int c, locale_t loc);

int

ispunct_l(int c, locale_t loc);

int

isrune_l(int c, locale_t loc);

int

isspace_l(int c, locale_t loc);

int

isupper_l(int c, locale_t loc);

int

isxdigit_l(int c, locale_t loc);

int

tolower_l(int c, locale_t loc);

int

toupper_l(int c, locale_t loc);

DESCRIPTION

The above functions perform character tests and conversions on the integer c in the locale loc. They behave in the same way as the versions without the _l suffix, but use the specified locale rather than the global or per-thread locale. ⟨ctype.h⟩, or as true functions in the C library. See the specific manual pages for more information.
