ISALPHA(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 						ISALPHA(3)

NAME

     isalpha -- alphabetic character test

LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <ctype.h>

     int
     isalpha(int c);

DESCRIPTION

     The isalpha() function tests for any character for which isupper(3) or islower(3) is true and for which none of iscntrl(3), isdigit(3),
     ispunct(3), or isspace(3) is true.  In the ``C'' locale, isalpha() returns true only for the characters for which isupper(3) or islower(3) is
     true.

RETURN VALUES

     The isalpha() function returns zero if the character tests false and returns non-zero if the character tests true.

SEE ALSO

     isxdigit(3), stdio(3), toascii(3), tolower(3), toupper(3), ascii(7)

STANDARDS

     The isalpha() function conforms to ANSI X3.159-1989 (``ANSI C89'').

CAVEATS

     The argument to isalpha() must be EOF or representable as an unsigned char; otherwise, the behavior is undefined.	See the CAVEATS section of
     ctype(3) for more details.

DESCRIPTION

     The above functions perform character tests and conversions on the integer c.  They are available as macros, defined in the include file
     <ctype.h>, or as true functions in the C library.	See the specific manual pages for more information.

     Extended locale versions of these functions are documented in ctype_l(3).	See xlocale(3) for more information.

STANDARDS

     These functions, except for digittoint(), isascii(), ishexnumber(), isideogram(), isnumber(), isphonogram(), isrune(), isspecial() and
     toascii(), conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1990 (``ISO C90'').
