.TH STR 1
.SH NAME
str \(en test the character types of string arguments
.SH SYNOPSIS
str
.RB [ type ]
.RB [ string... ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Test string arguments.
The tests in this program are equivalent to the functions with the same names in
ctype.h(0p) and are the methods by which string arguments are tested.
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
If all tests pass, the program will exit with an exit code of 0. If any of the
tests fail, the program will exit unsuccessfully with an error code of 1.
An empty string will cause an unsuccessful exit as none of its contents pass any
tests.
When invoked incorrectly, a debug message will be printed and the program will
exit with the appropriate sysexits.h(3) error code.
.SH DEPRECATED FEATURES
Originally, there was an isvalue type as an extension to ctype.h(3), but it
was removed in favor of using strcmp(1) to compare strings against the empty
string ('').
.SH BUGS
Theres no way of knowing which argument failed the test without re-testing
arguments individually.
If a character in a string isn't valid ASCII str will exit unsuccessfully.
