iswalnum(3)

NAME

   iswalnum - test for alphanumeric wide character

SYNOPSIS

   #include <wctype.h>

   int iswalnum(wint_t wc);

DESCRIPTION

   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

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