<h3 class="section">3.4 <code>iscntrl</code>&mdash;control character predicate</h3>
<p><a name="index-iscntrl-113"></a><strong>Synopsis</strong>
<pre class="example"> #include &lt;ctype.h&gt;
int iscntrl(int <var>c</var>);
</pre>
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
<code>iscntrl</code> 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 if <var>c</var> is representable as an
unsigned char or if <var>c</var> is EOF.
<p>You can use a compiled subroutine instead of the macro definition by
undefining the macro using `<code>#undef iscntrl</code>'.
<p><br>
<strong>Returns</strong><br>
<code>iscntrl</code> returns non-zero if <var>c</var> is a delete character or ordinary
control character (<code>0x7F</code> or <code>0x00</code>&ndash;<code>0x1F</code>).
<p><br>
<strong>Portability</strong><br>
<code>iscntrl</code> is ANSI C.
<p>No supporting OS subroutines are required.
