+.Nm isalpha
+.Nd alphabetic character test
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In ctype.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn isalpha "int c"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn isalpha
+function tests for any character for which
+.Xr isupper 3
+or
+.Xr islower 3
+is true.
+The value of the argument must be representable as an
+.Vt "unsigned char"
+or the value of
+.Dv EOF .
+.Pp
+In the ASCII character set, this includes the following characters
+(with their numeric values shown in octal):
+.Bl -column \&000_``0''__ \&000_``0''__ \&000_``0''__ \&000_``0''__ \&000_``0''__
+.It "\&101\ ``A'' \t102\ ``B'' \t103\ ``C'' \t104\ ``D'' \t105\ ``E''"
+.It "\&106\ ``F'' \t107\ ``G'' \t110\ ``H'' \t111\ ``I'' \t112\ ``J''"
+.It "\&113\ ``K'' \t114\ ``L'' \t115\ ``M'' \t116\ ``N'' \t117\ ``O''"
+.It "\&120\ ``P'' \t121\ ``Q'' \t122\ ``R'' \t123\ ``S'' \t124\ ``T''"
+.It "\&125\ ``U'' \t126\ ``V'' \t127\ ``W'' \t130\ ``X'' \t131\ ``Y''"
+.It "\&132\ ``Z'' \t141\ ``a'' \t142\ ``b'' \t143\ ``c'' \t144\ ``d''"
+.It "\&145\ ``e'' \t146\ ``f'' \t147\ ``g'' \t150\ ``h'' \t151\ ``i''"
+.It "\&152\ ``j'' \t153\ ``k'' \t154\ ``l'' \t155\ ``m'' \t156\ ``n''"
+.It "\&157\ ``o'' \t160\ ``p'' \t161\ ``q'' \t162\ ``r'' \t163\ ``s''"
+.It "\&164\ ``t'' \t165\ ``u'' \t166\ ``v'' \t167\ ``w'' \t170\ ``x''"
+.It "\&171\ ``y'' \t172\ ``z''"
+.El
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn isalpha
+function returns zero if the character tests false and
+returns non-zero if the character tests true.
+.Sh COMPATIBILITY
+The
+.Bx 4.4
+extension of accepting arguments outside of the range of the
+.Vt "unsigned char"
+type in locales with large character sets is considered obsolete
+and may not be supported in future releases.
+The
+.Fn iswalpha
+function should be used instead.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr ctype 3 ,
+.Xr islower 3 ,
+.Xr isupper 3 ,
+.Xr iswalpha 3 ,
+.Xr ascii 7
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Fn isalpha
+function conforms to
+.St -isoC .
