+@defvr Extension HOST_CHARSET
+This macro indicates the basic character set and encoding used by the
+host: more precisely, the encoding used for character constants in
+preprocessor @samp{#if} statements (the C "execution character set").
+It is defined by @file{safe-ctype.h}, and will be an integer constant
+with one of the following values:
+
+@ftable @code
+@item HOST_CHARSET_UNKNOWN
+The host character set is unknown - that is, not one of the next two
+possibilities.
+
+@item HOST_CHARSET_ASCII
+The host character set is ASCII.
+
+@item HOST_CHARSET_EBCDIC
+The host character set is some variant of EBCDIC. (Only one of the
+nineteen EBCDIC varying characters is tested; exercise caution.)

+These twelve macros are defined by @file{safe-ctype.h}. Each has the
+same meaning as the corresponding macro (with name in lowercase)
+defined by the standard header @file{ctype.h}. For example,
+@code{ISALPHA} returns true for alphabetic characters and false for
+others. However, there are two differences between these macros and
+those provided by @file{ctype.h}:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item These macros are guaranteed to have well-defined behavior for all
+values representable by @code{signed char} and @code{unsigned char}, and
+for @code{EOF}.
+
+@item These macros ignore the current locale; they are true for these
+fixed sets of characters:
+@multitable {@code{XDIGIT}} {yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada}
+@item @code{ALPHA} @tab @kbd{A-Za-z}
+@item @code{ALNUM} @tab @kbd{A-Za-z0-9}
+@item @code{BLANK} @tab @kbd{space tab}
+@item @code{CNTRL} @tab @code{!PRINT}
+@item @code{DIGIT} @tab @kbd{0-9}
+@item @code{GRAPH} @tab @code{ALNUM || PUNCT}
+@item @code{LOWER} @tab @kbd{a-z}
+@item @code{PRINT} @tab @code{GRAPH ||} @kbd{space}
+@item @code{PUNCT} @tab @kbd{`~!@@#$%^&*()_-=+[@{]@}\|;:'",<.>/?}
+@item @code{SPACE} @tab @kbd{space tab \n \r \f \v}
+@item @code{UPPER} @tab @kbd{A-Z}
+@item @code{XDIGIT} @tab @kbd{0-9A-Fa-f}
+@end multitable
+
+Note that, if the host character set is ASCII or a superset thereof,
+all these macros will return false for all values of @code{char} outside
+the range of 7-bit ASCII. In particular, both ISPRINT and ISCNTRL return
+false for characters with numeric values from 128 to 255.
