Character Manipulation Function
int isalpha(int c);
int iswalpha(wint_t c);
int _ismbcalpha(unsigned int c);
int _istalpha(_TINT c);
Internationalization (I18n) Function Overview
The isalpa function returns a non-zero value if c is within the A-Z or a-z ranges.
iswalpha is the wide character version of isalpha ,
testing the wide character c .
Supported only on Windows platforms, _ismbcalpha is the multibyte equivalent, treating c
as a multibyte character and calling _ismbbalpha .
_istalpha is the Windows-only Generic version of the function; with the _MBCS or _UNICODE compiler flags determining its mapping to either _ismbcalpha or iswalpha .
I18n Issues
Use the appropriate version of the function as required for internationalization support, noting the following:
On ANSI platforms, there is no multibyte version of isalpha . Instead, convert the character c to a wide character and
call iswalpha .
Prior to calling iswalpha on ANSI platforms, ensure that the locale is set correctly, since
the result of the test condition depends on the locale's LC_CTYPE category setting.
On Windows platforms, the iswalpha test is independent of locale.
The _ismbcalpha function depends on the multibyte code page in effect. By default, the multibyte code page
is set to the system-default ANSI code page obtained from the operating system at program startup.
Use _getmbcp and _setmbcp to query or change
the current multibyte code page, respectively.
