                    | Defined in header  <cctype> | ||
| int iscntrl( int ch ); | ||
Checks if the given character is a control character as classified by the currently installed C locale. In the default, "C" locale, the control characters are the characters with the codes 0x00-0x1F and 0x7F.
The behavior is undefined if the value of ch is not representable as unsigned char and is not equal to EOF.

[edit] Parameters
| ch | - | character to classify | 
[edit] Return value
Non-zero value (true) if the character is a control character, 0 (false) otherwise.
[edit] Example
Run this code
#include <iostream> #include <cctype> #include <clocale> int main() { unsigned char c = '\x94'; // the control code CCH in ISO-8859-1 std::cout << "iscntrl(\'\\x94\', default C locale) returned " << std::boolalpha << (bool)std::iscntrl(c) << '\n'; std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_GB.iso88591"); std::cout << "iscntrl(\'\\x94\', ISO-8859-1 locale) returned " << std::boolalpha << (bool)std::iscntrl(c) << '\n'; }
Output:
iscntrl('\x94', default C locale) returned false
iscntrl('\x94', ISO-8859-1 locale) returned true[edit] See also
