NAME
     iscsymf - tell whether given character could be found as the
     first character of a C symbol

SYNOPSIS
     #include <edlib.h>

     int iscsymf(c)
     char c;

DESCRIPTION
     Iscsymf tells whether it is possible that the given character
     could appear as the first character of a C symbol. A C symbol
     might be the the name of a variable, structure, reserved word
     or a functions. Not all characters that are valid in a C symbol
     may be the first character of an identifier in most implementations
     of C. In most versions, the characters allowed as the first
     character are the upper and lower case alphbetic characters and
     the underscore (_).

BUGS
     This function depends on the C compiler used, and thus the
     characters that are valid as the intial character in a C symbol
     may be different, even on the same machine.
