PROLOG

6       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
7       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the  corresponding
8       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
9       not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

13       isxdigit, isxdigit_l — test for a hexadecimal digit
14

SYNOPSIS

16       #include <ctype.h>
17
18       int isxdigit(int c);
19       int isxdigit_l(int c, locale_t locale);
20

DESCRIPTION

22       For isxdigit(): The functionality described on this reference  page  is
23       aligned  with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements
24       described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume  of
25       POSIX.1‐2008 defers to the ISO C standard.
26
27       The  isxdigit()  and  isxdigit_l()  functions shall test whether c is a
28       character of class xdigit in the current locale, or in the locale  rep‐
29       resented  by  locale,  respectively; see the Base Definitions volume of
30       POSIX.1‐2008, Chapter 7, Locale.
31
32       The c argument is an int, the value  of  which  the  application  shall
33       ensure is a character representable as an unsigned char or equal to the
34       value of the macro EOF. If the argument has any other value, the behav‐
35       ior is undefined.
36
37       The behavior is undefined if the locale argument to isxdigit_l() is the
38       special locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid locale  object
39       handle.
40

RETURN VALUE

42       The isxdigit() and isxdigit_l() functions shall return non-zero if c is
43       a hexadecimal digit; otherwise, they shall return 0.

APPLICATION USAGE

54       To ensure applications  portability,  especially  across  natural  lan‐
55       guages,  only  these functions and the functions in the reference pages
56       listed in the SEE ALSO section should be used for character classifica‐
57       tion.
