isprint, isgraph---printable character predicates

Synopsis

#include <ctype.h>
int isprint(int c);
int isgraph(int c);

Description
isprint is a macro which classifies ASCII integer values by table lookup. It is a predicate returning non-zero for printable characters, and 0 for other character arguments. It is defined only when isascii(c) is true or c is EOF.

You can use a compiled subroutine instead of the macro definition by undefining either macro using `#undef isprint' or `#undef isgraph'.

Returns
isprint returns non-zero if c is a printing character, (0x20--0x7E). isgraph behaves identically to isprint, except that the space character (0x20) is excluded.

Portability
isprint and isgraph are ANSI C.

No supporting OS subroutines are required.
