isxdigit(), isxdigit_l() -- tests if character is a hexadecimal digit

SYNOPSIS

#include <ctype.h>

int isxdigit(int c);

int isxdigit_l(win_t c, locale_t locale);

DESCRIPTION

The isxdigit() function tests for any hexadecimal-digit character.

The behavior of the isxdigit() function is affected by the current locale. To modify the behavior, change the LC_CTYPE category in setlocale(), that is, setlocale(LC_CTYPE, newlocale). In the C locale or in a locale where character type information is not defined, characters are classified according to the rules of the U.S. ASCII 7-bit coded character set.

iswxdigit_l() behaves in the same way as iswxdigit() without the _l suffix, but uses the specified locale rather than the global or per-thread locale. A locale_t is returned by newlocale().

PARAMETERS

c: Is an integer whose value is representable as an unsigned char, or the value of the macro EOF.
wc: Is a wide character code corresponding to a valid character in the current locale or the value of the macro WEOF.

locale

Is a locale_t perhaps returned by newlocale() or LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or 0 for the current thread locale set with uselocale().

RETURN VALUES

The isxdigit() and isxdigit_l() functions return non-zero for true and zero for false. If the parameter is not in the domain of the function, the return result is undefined.

CONFORMANCE

ANSI/ISO 9899-1990.

MULTITHREAD SAFETY LEVEL

MT-Safe, with exceptions.

The function isxdigit() is MT-Safe as long as no thread calls setlocale() while this function is executing.

The function isxdigit_l() is MT-Safe as long as no thread calls freelocale() on locale while this function is executing.

PORTING ISSUES

None.
