  49 .Ft int

  51 .Sh DESCRIPTION
  52 The
  53 .Fn isprint
  54 function tests for any printing character, including space
  55 .Pq Ql "\ " .
  56 For single C
  57 .Va char Ns s
  58 locales (see
  59 .Xr multibyte 3 ) ,
  60 the value of the argument is
  61 representable as an
  62 .Li unsigned char
  63 or the value of
  64 .Dv EOF .
  65 In the ASCII character set, this includes the following characters
  66 (preceded by their numeric values, in octal):
  67 .Pp

  88 .El
  89 .Sh RETURN VALUES
  90 The
  91 .Fn isprint
  92 function returns zero if the character tests false and
  93 returns non-zero if the character tests true.
  94 .Sh COMPATIBILITY
  95 The
  96 .Bx 4.4
  97 extension of accepting arguments outside of the range of the
  98 .Vt "unsigned char"
  99 type in locales with large character sets is considered obsolete
 100 and may not be supported in future releases.
 101 The
 102 .Fn iswprint
 103 function should be used instead.
