iscntrl---control character predicate

Synopsis

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

Description
iscntrl is a macro which classifies ASCII integer values by table lookup. It is a predicate returning non-zero for control characters, and 0 for other characters. 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 the macro using `#undef iscntrl'.


Returns
iscntrl returns non-zero if c is a delete character or ordinary control character (0x7F or 0x00--0x1F).


Portability
iscntrl is ANSI C.

No supporting OS subroutines are required.
