.TH STR 1
.SH NAME
str \(en test the character types of string arguments
.SH SYNOPSIS
str
.RB [ type ]
.RB [ string... ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Str tests each character in an arbitrary quantity of string arguments against
the function of the same name within ctype(3).
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
Str exits successfully if all tests pass and unsuccessfully if a test failed.
.PP
Str will exit unsuccessfully if a string is empty, as none of its contents
passed the test.
.PP
Str will print a message to standard error and exit unsuccessfully if used
improperly.
.SH DEPRECATED FEATURES
Str used to have an "isvalue" type as an extension to ctype(3). This was
removed in favor of using strcmp(1) to compare strings against the empty string
('').
.SH BUGS
There's no way of knowing which argument failed the test without re-testing
arguments individually.
.PP
If a character in a string isn't valid ASCII str will exit unsuccessfully.
