<h3 class="section">3.8 <code>ispunct</code>&mdash;punctuation character predicate</h3>
<p><a name="index-ispunct-118"></a><strong>Synopsis</strong>
<pre class="example"> #include &lt;ctype.h&gt;
int ispunct(int <var>c</var>);
</pre>
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
<code>ispunct</code> is a macro which classifies ASCII integer values by table
lookup. It is a predicate returning non-zero for printable
punctuation 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 ispunct</code>'.
<p><br>
<strong>Returns</strong><br>
<code>ispunct</code> returns non-zero if <var>c</var> is a printable punctuation character
(<code>isgraph(</code><var>c</var><code>) &amp;&amp; !isalnum(</code><var>c</var><code>)</code>).
<p><br>
<strong>Portability</strong><br>
<code>ispunct</code> is ANSI C.
<p>No supporting OS subroutines are required.
