function template
<locale>

std::isprint

template <class charT> bool isprint (charT c, const locale& loc);
Check if character is printable using locale
Checks whether c is a printable character using the ctype facet of locale loc, returning the same as if ctype::is is called as:

1
use_facet < ctype<charT> > (loc).is (ctype_base::print, c)

This function template overloads the C function isprint (defined in <cctype>).

Parameters

c
Character to be checked.
loc
Locale to be used. It shall have a ctype facet.

The template argument charT is the character type.

Return Value

true if indeed c is a printable character.
false otherwise.

// isprint example (C++) #include <iostream> // std::cout #include <string> // std::string #include <locale> // std::locale, std::isprint int main () { std::locale loc; std::string str="first line \n second line \n"; for (std::string::size_type i=0; i<str.length(); ++i) { if (!std::isprint(str[i])) break; std::cout << str[i]; } return 0; }

Output:
first line 


Data races

Both loc and its ctype facet are accessed.

Exception safety

Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no effects.
