iswxdigit - test for hexadecimal digit wide character
Standard C library (libc
, -lc
)
#include <wctype.h>
int iswxdigit(wint_t wc);
The iswxdigit() function is the wide-character
equivalent of the isxdigit(3) function. It tests
whether wc
is a wide character belonging to the wide-character
class "xdigit".
The wide-character class "xdigit" is a subclass of the wide-character class "alnum", and therefore also a subclass of the wide-character class "graph" and of the wide-character class "print".
Being a subclass of the wide-character class "print", the wide-character class "xdigit" is disjoint from the wide-character class "cntrl".
Being a subclass of the wide-character class "graph", the wide-character class "xdigit" is disjoint from the wide-character class "space" and its subclass "blank".
Being a subclass of the wide-character class "alnum", the wide-character class "xdigit" is disjoint from the wide-character class "punct".
The wide-character class "xdigit" always contains at least the letters 'A' to 'F', 'a' to 'f' and the digits '0' to '9'.
The iswxdigit() function returns nonzero if
wc
is a wide character belonging to the wide-character class
"xdigit". Otherwise, it returns zero.
