isleadbyte, _isleadbyte_l

Determines whether a character is the lead byte of a multibyte character.

Important

This API cannot be used in applications that execute in the Windows Runtime. For more information, see CRT functions not supported in Universal Windows Platform apps.

Syntax

int isleadbyte( int c );
int _isleadbyte_l( int c );

Parameters

c
Integer to test.

Return Value

isleadbyte returns a nonzero value if the argument satisfies the test condition or 0 if it does not. In the "C" locale and in single-byte character set (SBCS) locales, isleadbyte always returns 0.

Remarks

The isleadbyte macro returns a nonzero value if its argument is the first byte of a multibyte character. isleadbyte produces a meaningful result for any integer argument from -1 (EOF) to UCHAR_MAX (0xFF), inclusive.

The expected argument type of isleadbyte is int; if a signed character is passed, the compiler may convert it to an integer by sign extension, yielding unpredictable results.

The version of this function with the _l suffix is identical except that it uses the locale passed in instead of the current locale for its locale-dependent behavior.

By default, this function's global state is scoped to the application. To change this, see Global state in the CRT.
