Character handling functions

This header declares a set of functions to classify and transform individual characters.

Functions

These functions take the int equivalent of one character as parameter and return an int that can either be another character or a value representing a boolean value: an int value of 0 means false, and an int value different from 0represents true.

There are two sets of functions:

Character classification functions

They check whether the character passed as parameter belongs to a certain category:

isalnum

Check if character is alphanumeric (function )

isalpha

Check if character is alphabetic (function )

isblank 

Check if character is blank (function )

iscntrl

Check if character is a control character (function )

isdigit

Check if character is decimal digit (function )

isgraph

Check if character has graphical representation (function )

islower

Check if character is lowercase letter (function )

isprint

Check if character is printable (function )

ispunct

Check if character is a punctuation character (function )

isspace

Check if character is a white-space (function )

isupper

Check if character is uppercase letter (function )

isxdigit

Check if character is hexadecimal digit (function )

 

Character conversion functions

Two functions that convert between letter cases:

tolower

Convert uppercase letter to lowercase (function )

toupper

Convert lowercase letter to uppercase (function )

For the first set, here is a map of how the original 127-character ASCII set is considered by each function (an x indicates that the function returns true on that character)

ASCII values	characters	iscntrl	isblank	isspace	isupper	islower	isalpha	isdigit	isxdigit	isalnum	ispunct	isgraph	isprint
0x00 .. 0x08	NUL, (other control codes)	x
0x09	tab ('\t')	x	x	x
0x0A .. 0x0D	(white-space control codes:'\f','\v','\n','\r')	x		x
0x0E .. 0x1F	(other control codes)	x
0x20	space (' ')		x	x									x
0x21 .. 0x2F	!"#$%&'()*+,-./										x	x	x
0x30 .. 0x39	0123456789							x	x	x		x	x
0x3a .. 0x40	:;<=>?@										x	x	x
0x41 .. 0x46	ABCDEF				x		x		x	x		x	x
0x47 .. 0x5A	GHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ				x		x			x		x	x
0x5B .. 0x60	[\]^_`										x	x	x
0x61 .. 0x66	abcdef					x	x		x	x		x	x
0x67 .. 0x7A	ghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz					x	x			x		x	x
0x7B .. 0x7E	{|}~										x	x	x
0x7F	(DEL)	x

The characters in the extended character set (above 0x7F) may belong to diverse categories depending on the locale and the platform. As a general rule, ispunct, isgraph and isprint return true on these for the standard C locale on most platforms supporting extended character sets.

 

 cctype 头文件所包含的函数主要用来测试字符值。

 

isalnum(c)	假如c是字母或数字，则为true
isalpah(c)	假如c是字母，则为true
iscntrl(c)	假如c是控制字符，则为true
isdigit(c)	假如c是数字，则为true
isgraph(c)	假如c不是空格，则为true
islower(c)	假如c是小写字母，则为true
isprint(c)	假如c是可打印的字符，则为true
ispunct(c)	假如c是标点符号，则为true
isspace(c)	假如c是空白字符，则为true
isupper(c)	假如c是大写字母，则为true
isxdigit(c)	假如c是十六进制数，则为true
tolower(c)	假如c是大写字母，则返回小写字母形式，否则返回c。
toupper(c)	假如c是小写字母，则返回大些字母形式，否则返回c。
