ISALPHA(3) BSD Library Functions Manual ISALPHA(3)NAMEisalpha — 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. For single C chars locales the value of the argument
is representable as an unsigned char or the value of EOF. In the ASCII
character set, this includes the following characters (with their numeric
values shown in octal):
101 ``A'' 102 ``B'' 103 ``C'' 104 ``D'' 105 ``E''
106 ``F'' 107 ``G'' 110 ``H'' 111 ``I'' 112 ``J''
113 ``K'' 114 ``L'' 115 ``M'' 116 ``N'' 117 ``O''
120 ``P'' 121 ``Q'' 122 ``R'' 123 ``S'' 124 ``T''
125 ``U'' 126 ``V'' 127 ``W'' 130 ``X'' 131 ``Y''
132 ``Z'' 141 ``a'' 142 ``b'' 143 ``c'' 144 ``d''
145 ``e'' 146 ``f'' 147 ``g'' 150 ``h'' 151 ``i''
152 ``j'' 153 ``k'' 154 ``l'' 155 ``m'' 156 ``n''
157 ``o'' 160 ``p'' 161 ``q'' 162 ``r'' 163 ``s''
164 ``t'' 165 ``u'' 166 ``v'' 167 ``w'' 170 ``x''
171 ``y'' 172 ``z''
RETURN VALUES
The isalpha() function returns zero if the character tests false and
returns non-zero if the character tests true.
