NAME

12       isxdigit - test for a hexadecimal digit
13

SYNOPSIS

15       #include <ctype.h>
16
17       int isxdigit(int c);
18
19

DESCRIPTION

21       The isxdigit() function shall test whether c is a  character  of  class
22       xdigit in the program's current locale; see the Base Definitions volume
23       of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Chapter 7, Locale.
24
25       The c argument is an int, the value  of  which  the  application  shall
26       ensure is a character representable as an unsigned char or equal to the
27       value of the macro EOF. If the argument has any other value, the behav‐
28       ior is undefined.
29

RETURN VALUE

31       The  isxdigit()  function  shall  return non-zero if c is a hexadecimal
32       digit; otherwise, it shall return 0.
33

ERRORS

APPLICATION USAGE

43       To ensure applications  portability,  especially  across  natural  lan‐
44       guages,  only  this  function  and those listed in the SEE ALSO section
45       should be used for character classification.
