int isprint( int ch );

Checks if the given character can be printed, i.e. it is either a number (0123456789), an uppercase letter (ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ), a lowercase letter (abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz), a punctuation character (!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~), or space, or any character classified as printable by the current C locale.

The behavior is undefined if the value of ch is not representable as unsigned char and is not equal to EOF .

[edit] Parameters

ch - character to classify

[edit] Return value

Non-zero value if the character can be printed, zero otherwise.

[edit] Example

Run this code
#include <ctype.h>
#include <locale.h>
#include <stdio.h>
 
int main(void)
{
 unsigned char c = '\xa0'; // the non-breaking space in ISO-8859-1
 printf ("In the default C locale, \\xa0 is %sprintable\n", isprint(c)?"":"not ");
 setlocale (LC_ALL, "en_GB.iso88591");
 printf ("In ISO-8859-1 locale, \\xa0 is %sprintable\n", isprint(c)?"":"not ");
}

Possible output: 

In the default C locale, \xa0 is not printable
In ISO-8859-1 locale, \xa0 is printable
