Character classification macro.

Defined in header <ctype.h>

Syntax

#include <ctype.h>
int isprint(int c);

Portability

DOSUNIXWindowsANSI CC++ only
■■■■

Remarks

isprint is a macro that classifies ASCII-coded integer values by table lookup. It is a predicate returning nonzero for true and 0 for false. It is defined only when isascii(c) is true or c is EOF.

You can make this macro available as a function by undefining (#undef) it.

Return value

isprint returns nonzero if c is a printing character (0x20 to 0x7E).

Example

#include <ctype.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main (void)
{
   char c = 'C ';
   if (isprint(c))
      printf("%c is a printable  character\n",c);
   else
   printf("%c isn't a printable  character\n",c);

return 0;
