PROLOG

This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

iswxdigit, iswxdigit_l --- test for a hexadecimal digit wide-character code

SYNOPSIS

#include <wctype.h>
int iswxdigit(wint_t wc);
int iswxdigit_l(wint_t wc, locale_t locale);

DESCRIPTION

For iswxdigit(): The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2008 defers to the ISO C standard. The iswxdigit() and iswxdigit_l() functions shall test whether wc is a wide-character code representing a character of class xdigit in the current locale, or in the locale represented by locale, respectively; see the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1-2008, Chapter 7, Locale. The wc argument is a wint_t, the value of which the application shall ensure is a wide-character code corresponding to a valid character in the current locale, or equal to the value of the macro WEOF. If the argument has any other value, the behavior is undefined. The behavior is undefined if the locale argument to iswxdigit_l() is the special locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid locale object handle.

RETURN VALUE

The iswxdigit() and iswxdigit_l() functions shall return non-zero if wc is a hexadecimal digit wide-character code; otherwise, they shall return 0.

ERRORS

None.

APPLICATION USAGE

To ensure applications portability, especially across natural languages, only these functions and the functions in the reference pages listed in the SEE ALSO section should be used for character classification.

RATIONALE

None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

None.
