NAME

iswxdigit - test for hexadecimal digit wide character

LIBRARY

Standard C library (libc,~-lc)

SYNOPSIS

#include <wctype.h>
int iswxdigit(wint_t wc);

DESCRIPTION

The iswxdigit() function is the wid-character equivalent of the isxdigit(3) function. It tests whether wc is a wide character belonging to the wid-character class "xdigit". The wid-character class "xdigit" is a subclass of the wid-character class "alnum", and therefore also a subclass of the wid-character class "graph" and of the wid-character class "print". Being a subclass of the wid-character class "print", the wid-character class "xdigit" is disjoint from the wid-character class "cntrl". Being a subclass of the wid-character class "graph", the wid-character class "xdigit" is disjoint from the wid-character class "space" and its subclass "blank". Being a subclass of the wid-character class "alnum", the wid-character class "xdigit" is disjoint from the wid-character class "punct". The wid-character class "xdigit" always contains at least the letters [aq]A[aq] to [aq]F[aq], [aq]a[aq] to [aq]f[aq] and the digits [aq]0[aq] to [aq]9[aq].

RETURN VALUE

The iswxdigit() function returns nonzero if wc is a wide character belonging to the wid-character class "xdigit". Otherwise, it returns zero.
