Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

|
|
.Fn isalpha "int c"
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn isalpha_l "int c" "locale_t loc"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn isalpha
|
|
function tests for any character for which
|
|
.Xr isupper 3
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr islower 3
|
|
is true.
|
|
The value of the argument must be representable as an
|
|
.Vt "unsigned char"
|
|
or the value of
|
|
.Dv EOF .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In the ASCII character set, this includes the following characters
|
|
(with their numeric values shown in octal):
|
|
.Bl -column \&000_``0''__ \&000_``0''__ \&000_``0''__ \&000_``0''__ \&000_``0''__

|
|

.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn isalpha_l
|
|
function takes an explicit locale argument, whereas the
|
|
.Fn isalpha
|
|
function uses the current global or per-thread locale.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn isalpha
|
|
function returns zero if the character tests false and
|
|
returns non-zero if the character tests true.
|
|
.Sh COMPATIBILITY
|
|
The
|
|
.Bx 4.4
|
|
extension of accepting arguments outside of the range of the
|
|
.Vt "unsigned char"
|
|
type in locales with large character sets is considered obsolete
|
|
and may not be supported in future releases.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn iswalpha
|
|
function should be used instead.

function conforms to
