DESCRIPTION
The above functions perform character tests and conversions on the integer c. They are available as macros, defined in the include file <ctype.h>, or as true functions in the C library. See the specific manual pages for more information.

STANDARDS
These functions, except for digittoint(), isascii(), ishexnumber(), isideogram(), isnumber(), isphonogram(), isrune(), isspecial() and toascii(), conform to isoC.

HISTORY
The functions isalpha(), isupper(), islower(), isdigit(), isalnum(), isspace(), ispunct(), isprint(), iscntrl(), and isascii() first appeared in AT&T UNIX.
