NAME

       isgraph - test for a visible character

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ctype.h>

       int isgraph(int c);

DESCRIPTION

       The  isgraph()  function  shall  test whether c is a character of class
       graph in the program’s current locale; see the Base Definitions  volume
       of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Chapter 7, Locale.

       The  c  argument  is  an  int, the value of which the application shall
       ensure is a character representable as an unsigned char or equal to the
       value  of  the  macro  EOF.  If  the  argument has any other value, the
       behavior is undefined.

RETURN VALUE

       The isgraph() function shall return non-zero if c is a character with a
       visible representation; otherwise, it shall return 0.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.
