# std::ctype<char>::ctype

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | locale‎ | ctype char

Defined in header `<locale>` |  |
explicit ctype( const mask* tbl = 0, bool del = false, std::size_t refs = 0); |  |

Creates a std::ctype<char> facet and forwards the starting reference count `refs` to the base class constructor, `locale::facet::facet()`.

If `tbl` is null, classic_table() is used by all classification member functions. Otherwise, `tbl` must be a pointer to the first element of an array of masks, at least std::ctype<char>::table_size in size, and that array is used by all of this facet's classification member functions.

If `del` is true, it is assumed that the array was allocated with new[], and the destructor of this facet will call delete[] tbl

### Parameters

tbl | - | classification table to use or a null pointer
del | - | indicator whether the table needs to be deleted.
refs | - | starting reference count
