PROLOG
       This  manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond-
       ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME
       isalpha - test for an alphabetic character

SYNOPSIS
       #include <ctype.h>

       int isalpha(int c);

DESCRIPTION
       The isalpha() function shall test whether c is a character of class alpha in the program's current locale; see the Base Definitions  volume
       of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Chapter 7, Locale.

       The c argument is an int, the value of which the application shall ensure is representable as an unsigned char or equal to the value of the
       macro EOF. If the argument has any other value, the behavior is undefined.

RETURN VALUE
       The isalpha() function shall return non-zero if c is an alphabetic character; otherwise, it shall return 0.

ERRORS
       No errors are defined.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES
       None.

APPLICATION USAGE
       To ensure applications portability, especially across natural languages, only this function and those listed in the SEE ALSO section should
       be used for character classification.

RATIONALE
       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
