Determines whether character is a graphical character, a display character, a punctuation character, or a space character.

This API cannot be used in applications that execute in the Windows Runtime. For more information, seeCRT functions not supported with /ZW.
Syntax
int _ismbcgraph(
unsigned int c
);
int _ismbcgraph_l(
unsigned int c,
_locale_t locale
);
int _ismbcprint(
unsigned int c
);
int _ismbcprint_l(
unsigned int c,
_locale_t locale
);
int _ismbcpunct(
unsigned int c
);
int _ismbcpunct_l(
unsigned int c,
_locale_t locale
);
int _ismbcblank(
unsigned int c
);
int _ismbcblank_l(
unsigned int c,
_locale_t locale
);
int _ismbcspace(
unsigned int c
);
int _ismbcspace_l(
unsigned int c,
_locale_t locale
);
Parameters
c
Character to be determined.
locale
Locale to use.
Return Value
Each of these routines returns a nonzero value if the character satisfies the test condition, or 0 if it does not. If c <= 255 and there is a corresponding _ismbb routine (for example, _ismbcalnum corresponds to _ismbbalnum), the result is the return value of the corresponding _ismbb routine.
The versions of these functions are identical, except that the ones that have the _l suffix use the locale that's passed in for their locale-dependent behavior, instead of the current locale. For more information, see Locale.
Remarks
Each of these functions tests a given multibyte character for a given condition.
| Routine | Test condition | Code page 932 example |
|---|---|---|
_ismbcgraph |
Graphic | Returns nonzero if and only if c is a single-byte representation of any ASCII or katakana printable character except a white space ( ). |
_ismbcprint |
Printable | Returns nonzero if and only if c is a single-byte representation of any ASCII or katakana printable character including a white space ( ). |
_ismbcpunct |
Punctuation | Returns nonzero if and only if c is a single-byte representation of any ASCII or katakana punctuation character. |
_ismbcblank |
Space or horizontal tab | Returns nonzero if and only if c is a space or horizontal tab character: c=0x20 or c=0x09. |
_ismbcspace |
White space | Returns nonzero if and only if c is a white-space character: c=0x20 or 0x09<=c<=0x0D. |
