iscntrl

function template
<locale>
template <class charT>
  bool iscntrl ( charT c, const locale& loc );

Check if character is a control character using locale

Checks whether c is a control character using ctype facet of locale loc, returning the same as a call to:

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


This function replicates the functionality of its C-library equivalent iscntrl. See iscntrl for more info.

Parameters

c
Character to be checked.
loc
Locale to be used. Shall have facet ctype present.

Template parameter charT is the character type.

Return Value

true if indeed c is a control character, false otherwise.

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


Output:
First line
