PROLOG
       This  manual  page  is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of
       this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux  manual  page  for  details  of
       Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.


NAME
       ispunct, ispunct_l — test for a punctuation character


SYNOPSIS
       #include <ctype.h>

       int ispunct(int c);
       int ispunct_l(int c, locale_t locale);


DESCRIPTION
       For  ispunct():  The  functionality  described  on this reference page is aligned with the
       ISO C standard. Any conflict  between  the  requirements  described  here  and  the  ISO C
       standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.

       The ispunct() and ispunct_l() functions shall test whether c is a character of class punct
       in the current locale, or in the locale represented by locale, respectively; see the  Base
       Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2017, 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.

       The  behavior  is  undefined  if  the locale argument to ispunct_l() is the special locale
       object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid locale object handle.


RETURN VALUE
       The ispunct() and ispunct_l() functions shall  return  non-zero  if  c  is  a  punctuation
       character; otherwise, they shall return 0.


ERRORS
       No errors are defined.

       The following sections are informative.


EXAMPLES
       None.


APPLICATION USAGE
       To  ensure  applications  portability,  especially  across  natural  languages, only these
       functions and the functions in the reference pages listed in the SEE ALSO  section  should
       be used for character classification.


RATIONALE
       None.


FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
