_ismbclegal, _ismbclegal_l, _ismbcsymbol, _ismbcsymbol_l
Checks whether a multibyte character is an legal or symbol character.
int _ismbclegal( unsigned int c ); int _ismbclegal_l( unsigned int c, _locale_t locale ); int _ismbcsymbol( unsigned int c ); int _ismbcsymbol_l( unsigned int c, _locale_t locale );
Each of these functions tests a given multibyte character for a given condition.
The versions of these functions with the _l suffix are identical except that they use the locale passed in instead of the current locale for their locale-dependent behavior. For more information, see Locale.
Routine | Test condition | Code page 932 example |
|---|---|---|
_ismbclegal | Valid multibyte | Returns nonzero if and only if the first byte of c is within ranges 0x81 – 0x9F or 0xE0 – 0xFC, while the second byte is within ranges 0x40 - 0x7E or 0x80 - FC. |
_ismbcsymbol | Multibyte symbol | Returns nonzero if and only if 0x8141<=c<=0x81AC. |
