isleadbyte, _isleadbyte_l

Visual Studio 2010

Updated: May 2011

Indicates whether the first byte of the specified character is the lead byte of a multibyte character.

Copy 
int isleadbyte(
   int c 
);
int _isleadbyte_l(
   int c, 
   _locale_t locale
);
c

A character to test. This parameter is expected to be a multibyte character whose type is int.

locale

A locale, instead of the current locale, that governs this operation. For more information, see Locale.

A nonzero value if the first byte of the c parameter is the lead byte of a multibyte character; otherwise, zero. The return value is always zero in the "C" locale and in single-byte character set (SBCS) locales.

The isleadbyte and _isleadbyte_l functions test the result of casting parameter c to an unsigned char.
