ISWXDIGIT(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual ISWXDIGIT(3P)
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
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
To ensure applications portability, especially across natural lan-
guages, only these functions and the functions in the reference pages
listed in the SEE ALSO section should be used for character classifica-
tion.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
