21 For isprint(): The functionality described on this reference page is
22 aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements
23 described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of
24 POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.
25
26 The isprint() and isprint_l() functions shall test whether c is a char‐
27 acter of class print in the current locale, or in the locale repre‐
28 sented by locale, respectively; see the Base Definitions volume of
29 POSIX.1‐2017, Chapter 7, Locale.
30
31 The c argument is an int, the value of which the application shall
32 ensure is a character representable as an unsigned char or equal to the
33 value of the macro EOF. If the argument has any other value, the behav‐
34 ior is undefined.
35
36 The behavior is undefined if the locale argument to isprint_l() is the
37 special locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid locale object
38 handle.
39
41 The isprint() and isprint_l() functions shall return non-zero if c is a
42 printable character; otherwise, they shall return 0.

53 To ensure applications portability, especially across natural lan‐
54 guages, only these functions and the functions in the reference pages
55 listed in the SEE ALSO section should be used for character classifica‐
56 tion.
