.Dt ISPUNCT 3
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm ispunct ,
.Nm ispunct_l
.Nd punctuation single-byte character test
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In ctype.h
.Ft int
.Fn ispunct "int c"
.Ft int
.Fn ispunct_l "int c" "locale_t locale"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn ispunct
and
.Fn ispunct_l
test for any punctuation characters.
.Pp
In the C locale, the complete list of punctuation characters is:
.Pp
.Dl !\(dq#$%&\(aq()*+,\-./:;<=>?@[\e]\(ha_\(ga{|}\(ti
.Pp
These are all characters for which
.Xr isgraph 3
is true but
.Xr isalnum 3
is not.
.Ox
always uses the C locale for these functions,
ignoring the global locale, the thread-specific locale, and the
.Fa locale
argument.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
These functions return zero if the character tests false or
non-zero if the character tests true.
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
On systems supporting non-ASCII single-byte character encodings,
results of these functions may differ, and the results of
.Fn ispunct
may depend on the
.Ev LC_CTYPE
.Xr locale 1 .
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr isalnum 3 ,
.Xr isalpha 3 ,
.Xr isascii 3 ,
.Xr isblank 3 ,
.Xr iscntrl 3 ,
.Xr isdigit 3 ,
.Xr isgraph 3 ,
.Xr islower 3 ,
.Xr isprint 3 ,
.Xr isspace 3 ,
.Xr isupper 3 ,
.Xr iswpunct 3 ,
.Xr isxdigit 3 ,
.Xr stdio 3 ,
.Xr toascii 3 ,
.Xr tolower 3 ,
.Xr toupper 3 ,
.Xr ascii 7
.Sh STANDARDS
The
.Fn ispunct
function conforms to
.St -ansiC ,
and
.Fn ispunct_l
to
.St -p1003.1-2008 .
.Sh HISTORY
The
.Fn ispunct
function first appeared in
.At v7 ,
and
.Fn ispunct_l
has been available since
.Ox 6.2 .
.Sh CAVEATS
The argument
.Fa c
must be
.Dv EOF
or representable as an
.Li unsigned char ;
otherwise, the result is undefined.
