37.Os
38.Sh NAME
39.Nm isprint ,
40.Nm isprint_l
41.Nd printing character test (space character inclusive)
42.Sh LIBRARY
43.Lb libc
44.Sh SYNOPSIS
45.In ctype.h
46.Ft int
47.Fn isprint "int c"
48.Ft int
49.Fn isprint_l "int c" "locale_t locale"
50.Sh DESCRIPTION
51The
52.Fn isprint
53and
54.Fn isprint_l
55functions test for any printing character, including space
56.Pq Ql "\ " .
57The value of the argument must be representable as an
58.Vt "unsigned char"
59or the value of
60.Dv EOF .
61.Pp
62In the ASCII character set, this includes the following characters
63(with their numeric values shown in octal):
64.Bl -column \&000_``0''__ \&000_``0''__ \&000_``0''__ \&000_``0''__ \&000_``0''__

84.El
85.Pp
86The _l-suffixed version takes an explicit
87.Fa locale
88argument, whereas the
89non-suffixed version uses the current global or per-thread locale.
90.Sh RETURN VALUES
91The
92.Fn isprint
93and
94.Fn isprint_l
95functions return zero if the character tests false and
96returns non-zero if the character tests true.
97.Sh COMPATIBILITY
98The
99.Bx 4.4
100extension of accepting arguments outside of the range of the
101.Vt "unsigned char"
102type in locales with large character sets is considered obsolete
103and may not be supported in future releases.
104The
105.Fn iswprint
106and
107.Fn iswprint_l
108functions should be used instead.
