ISGRAPH(3) Library Functions Manual ISGRAPH(3)

isgraph — printing character test (space character exclusive)

Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

#include <ctype.h>

int
isgraph(int c);

The () function tests for any printing character except space (‘ ’) and other locale-specific space-like characters. 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):

041 ``!'' 042 ``"'' 043 ``#'' 044 ``$'' 045 ``%''
046 ``&'' 047 ``''' 050 ``('' 051 ``)'' 052 ``*''
053 ``+'' 054 ``,'' 055 ``-'' 056 ``.'' 057 ``/''
060 ``0'' 061 ``1'' 062 ``2'' 063 ``3'' 064 ``4''
065 ``5'' 066 ``6'' 067 ``7'' 070 ``8'' 071 ``9''
072 ``:'' 073 ``;'' 074 ``<'' 075 ``='' 076 ``>''
077 ``?'' 100 ``@'' 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'' 133 ``['' 134 ``\''
135 ``]'' 136 ``^'' 137 ``_'' 140 ```'' 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''

173 ``{'' 174 ``|'' 175 ``}'' 176 ``~''

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

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 iswgraph() function should be used instead.

The isgraph() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1990 (“ISO C90”).
