DESCRIPTION
       These  functions  check  whether  c, which must have the value of an unsigned char or EOF,
       falls into a certain character class according to the  specified  locale.   The  functions
       without the "_l" suffix perform the check based on the current locale.

       The  functions with the "_l" suffix perform the check based on the locale specified by the
       locale object locale.  The behavior of these functions is undefined if locale is the  spe‐
       cial  locale  object  LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE  (see duplocale(3)) or is not a valid locale object
       handle.

       The list below explains the operation of the functions without the "_l" suffix; the  func‐
       tions  with  the  "_l" suffix differ only in using the locale object locale instead of the
       current locale.

       isalnum()
              checks  for  an  alphanumeric  character;  it  is  equivalent  to  (isalpha(c)   ||
              isdigit(c)).

       isalpha()
              checks for an alphabetic character; in the standard "C" locale, it is equivalent to
              (isupper(c) || islower(c)).  In some locales, there may  be  additional  characters
              for which isalpha() is true—letters which are neither uppercase nor lowercase.

       isascii()
              checks  whether c is a 7-bit unsigned char value that fits into the ASCII character
              set.

       isblank()
              checks for a blank character; that is, a space or a tab.

       iscntrl()
              checks for a control character.

       isdigit()
              checks for a digit (0 through 9).

       isgraph()
              checks for any printable character except space.

       islower()
              checks for a lowercase character.

       isprint()
              checks for any printable character including space.

       ispunct()
              checks for any printable character which is not a space or an alphanumeric  charac‐
              ter.

       isspace()
              checks  for  white-space  characters.   In  the "C" and "POSIX" locales, these are:
              space, form-feed ('\f'), newline ('\n'), carriage  return  ('\r'),  horizontal  tab
              ('\t'), and vertical tab ('\v').

       isupper()
              checks for an uppercase letter.

       isxdigit()
              checks for hexadecimal digits, that is, one of
              0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f A B C D E F.

RETURN VALUE
       The  values  returned are nonzero if the character c falls into the tested class, and zero
       if not.

ATTRIBUTES
   Multithreading (see pthreads(7))
       The  isalnum(),  isalpha(),  isascii(),  isblank(),   iscntrl(),   isdigit(),   isgraph(),
       islower(),  isprint(),  ispunct(),  isspace(),  isupper(),  and  isxdigit()  functions are
       thread-safe.

VERSIONS
       isalnum_l(), isalpha_l(), isblank_l(), iscntrl_l(), isdigit_l(), isgraph_l(), islower_l(),
       isprint_l(),  ispunct_l(),  isspace_l(),  isupper_l(),  isxdigit_l(),  and isascii_l() are
       available since glibc 2.3.

CONFORMING TO
       C89 specifies isalnum(), isalpha(), iscntrl(), isdigit(), isgraph(), islower(), isprint(),
       ispunct(),  isspace(),  isupper(),  and  isxdigit(),  but  not  isascii()  and  isblank().
       POSIX.1-2001 also specifies those functions, and also isascii() (as an XSI extension)  and
       isblank().  C99 specifies all of the preceding functions, except isascii().

       POSIX.1-2008  marks  isascii()  as  obsolete,  noting that it cannot be used portably in a
       localized application.

       POSIX.1-2008 specifies isalnum_l(), isalpha_l(),  isblank_l(),  iscntrl_l(),  isdigit_l(),
       isgraph_l(),   islower_l(),   isprint_l(),   ispunct_l(),  isspace_l(),  isupper_l(),  and
       isxdigit_l().

       isascii_l() is a GNU extension.

NOTES
       The details of what characters belong to which class depend on the locale.   For  example,
       isupper()  will  not  recognize  an  A-umlaut  (Ä) as an uppercase letter in the default C
       locale.
