isgraph, iswgraph, _isgraph_l, _iswgraph_l

Determines whether an integer represents a graphical character.

Syntax

int isgraph(
   int c
);
int iswgraph(
   wint_t c
);
int _isgraph_l(
   int c,
   _locale_t locale
);
int _iswgraph_l(
   wint_t c,
   _locale_t locale
);

Parameters

c
Integer to test.

Return value

Each of these routines returns nonzero if c is a particular representation of a printable character other than a space. isgraph returns a nonzero value if c is a printable character other than a space. iswgraph returns a nonzero value if c is a printable wide character other than a wide character space. Each of these routines returns 0 if c doesn't satisfy the test condition.

The versions of these functions that have the _l suffix use the locale that's passed in instead of the current locale for their locale-dependent behavior. For more information, see Locale.

The behavior of isgraph and _isgraph_l is undefined if c isn't EOF or in the range 0 through 0xFF, inclusive. When a debug CRT library is used and c isn't one of these values, the functions raise an assertion.

Generic-text routine mappings

TCHAR.H routine _UNICODE and _MBCS not defined _MBCS defined _UNICODE defined
_istgraph isgraph _ismbcgraph iswgraph
_istgraph_l _isgraph_l _ismbcgraph_l _iswgraph_l

Remarks

By default, this function's global state is scoped to the application. To change this behavior, see Global state in the CRT.
