ISWALNUM(P) POSIX Programmer's Manual ISWALNUM(P)PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
not be implemented on Linux.
NAMEiswalnum - test for an alphanumeric wide-character code
SYNOPSIS
#include <wctype.h>
int iswalnum(wint_t wc);
DESCRIPTION
The iswalnum() function shall test whether wc is a wide-character code
representing a character of class alpha or digit in the program's cur‐
rent locale; see the Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001,
Chapter 7, Locale.
The wc argument is a wint_t, the value of which the application shall
ensure is a wide-character code corresponding to a valid character in
the current locale, or equal to the value of the macro WEOF. If the
argument has any other value, the behavior is undefined.
RETURN VALUE
The iswalnum() function shall return non-zero if wc is an alphanumeric
wide-character code; otherwise, it shall return 0.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
To ensure applications portability, especially across natural lan‐
guages, only this function and those listed in the SEE ALSO section
should be used for classification of wide-character codes.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
