NAME         top

       iswxdigit - test for hexadecimal digit wide character

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <wctype.h>

       int iswxdigit(wint_t wc);

DESCRIPTION         top

       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'.

RETURN VALUE         top

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

CONFORMING TO         top

       C99.

NOTES         top

       The behavior of iswxdigit() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the
       current locale.
