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.  The value of the argument must be representable
     as an unsigned char or the value of EOF.

     In the ASCII character set, this includes the following characters (preceded by their numeric values, in octal):

     101 ``A''	   102 ``B''	 103 ``C''     104 ``D''     105 ``E''
     106 ``F''	   107 ``G''	 110 ``H''     111 ``I''     112 ``J''
     113 ``K''	   114 ``L''	 115 ``M''     116 ``N''     117 ``O''
     120 ``P''	   121 ``Q''	 122 ``R''     123 ``S''     124 ``T''
     125 ``U''	   126 ``V''	 127 ``W''     130 ``X''     131 ``Y''
     132 ``Z''	   141 ``a''	 142 ``b''     143 ``c''     144 ``d''
     145 ``e''	   146 ``f''	 147 ``g''     150 ``h''     151 ``i''
     152 ``j''	   153 ``k''	 154 ``l''     155 ``m''     156 ``n''
     157 ``o''	   160 ``p''	 161 ``q''     162 ``r''     163 ``s''
     164 ``t''	   165 ``u''	 166 ``v''     167 ``w''     170 ``x''
     171 ``y''	   172 ``z''

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

COMPATIBILITY
     The 4.4BSD extension of accepting arguments outside of the range of the unsigned char type in locales with large character sets is considered
     obsolete and may not be supported in future releases.  The iswalpha() function should be used instead.

SEE ALSO
     ctype(3), isalnum_l(3), islower(3), isupper(3), iswalpha(3), ascii(7)

STANDARDS
     The isalpha() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1990 (``ISO C90'').
