iscntrl, iswcntrl
int iscntrl( int c ); int iswcntrl( wint_t c );
Each of these routines returns nonzero if c is a particular representation of a control character.
Parameter
- c
- Integer to test
Return Value
iscntrl returns a non-zero value if c is a control character (0x00 – 0x1F or 0x7F). iswcntrl returns a non-zero value if c is a control wide character. Each of these routines returns 0 if c does not satisfy the test condition.
The result of the test condition for the iscntrl function depends on the LC_CTYPE category setting of the current locale; see setlocale for more information. For iswcntrl, the result of the test condition is independent of locale.
When used with a debug CRT library, iscntrl will display a CRT assert if passed a parameter that isn't EOF or in the range of 0 through 0xFF. When used with a debug CRT library, iscntrl will use the parameter as an index into an array, with undefined results if the parameter isn't EOF or in the range of 0 through 0xFF.
