ISWALNUM(3)                   Linux Programmer's Manual                   ISWALNUM(3)

NAME         top

       iswalnum - test for alphanumeric wide character

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <wctype.h>

       int iswalnum(wint_t wc);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The iswalnum() function is the wide-character equivalent of the isalnum(3)
       function.  It tests whether wc is a wide character belonging to the wide-
       character class "alnum".

       The wide-character class "alnum" is a subclass of the wide-character class
       "graph", and therefore also a subclass of the wide-character class "print".

       Being a subclass of the wide-character class "print", the wide-character class
       "alnum" is disjoint from the wide-character class "cntrl".

       Being a subclass of the wide-character class "graph", the wide-character class
       "alnum" is disjoint from the wide-character class "space" and its subclass
       "blank".

       The wide-character class "alnum" is disjoint from the wide-character class
       "punct".

       The wide-character class "alnum" is the union of the wide-character classes
       "alpha" and "digit".  As such, it also contains the wide-character class
       "xdigit".

       The wide-character class "alnum" always contains at least the letters 'A' to
       'Z', 'a' to 'z' and the digits '0' to '9'.

RETURN VALUE         top

       The iswalnum() function returns non-zero if wc is a wide character belonging
       to the wide-character class "alnum".  Otherwise it returns zero.

CONFORMING TO         top

       C99.

NOTES         top

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