Synopsis:
    #include <ctype.h>
    int ispunct( int c );
    #include <wchar.h>
    int iswpunct( wint_t c );

Description:
    The ispunct function tests for any punctuation character such as a comma
    (,) or a period (.).

    The iswpunct function is similar to ispunct except that it accepts a
    wide-character argument.

Returns:
    The ispunct function returns a non-zero value when the argument is a
    punctuation character.  The iswpunct function returns a non-zero value
    when the argument is a printable wide character that is neither the
    space wide character nor a wide character for which  iswalnum is true.
     Otherwise, zero is returned.

Example:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <ctype.h>

    char chars[] = {
        'A',
        '!',
        '.',
        ',',
        ':',
        ';'
    };

    #define SIZE sizeof( chars ) / sizeof( char )

    void main()
      {
        int   i;

        for( i = 0; i < SIZE; i++ ) {
          printf( "Char %c is %sa punctuation character\n",
                chars[i],
                ( ispunct( chars[i] ) ) ? "" : "not " );
        }
      }

    produces the following:

    Char A is not a punctuation character
    Char ! is a punctuation character
    Char . is a punctuation character
    Char , is a punctuation character
    Char : is a punctuation character
    Char ; is a punctuation character
