Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     The routines in the is family test a given integer value. They
     return a nonzero value if the integer satisfies the test condition
     and 0 if it does not. An ASCII-character-set environment is
     assumed. These routines are implemented both as functions and as
     macros.
 
     The isascii routine produces meaningful results for all integer
     values. However, the remaining routines produce a defined result
     only for integer values corresponding to the ASCII character set
     (that is, only where isascii holds true) or for the non-ASCII
     value EOF (defined in STDIO.H).
 
     Return Value
 
     All of these functions return a nonzero value if the tested
     character is in the right category and 0 if not.
