iswdigit - Man Page

test for decimal digit wide character

Library

Standard C library (libc, -lc)

Synopsis

#include <wctype.h>

int iswdigit(wint_t wc);

Description

The iswdigit() function is the wide-character equivalent of the isdigit(3) function. It tests whether wc is a wide character belonging to the wide-character class "digit".

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

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

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

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

The wide-character class "digit" is disjoint from the wide-character class "alpha" and therefore also disjoint from its subclasses "lower", "upper".

The wide-character class "digit" always contains exactly the digits '0' to '9'.

Return Value

The iswdigit() function returns nonzero if wc is a wide character belonging to the wide-character class "digit". Otherwise, it returns zero.
