isxdigit()

tests if character is a hexadecimal digit 

Function

SYNOPSIS

#include <ctype.h>

int isxdigit(int c);

DESCRIPTION

The isxdigit() function tests for any hexadecimal-digit character.

The behavior of the isxdigit() function is affected by the current locale. To modify the behavior, change the LC_CTYPE category in setlocale(), that is, setlocale(LC_CTYPE, newlocale). In the C locale or in a locale where character type information is not defined, characters are classified according to the rules of the U.S. ASCII 7-bit coded character set.

PARAMETERS

c 

Is an integer whose value is representable as an unsigned char, or the value of the macro EOF.

RETURN VALUES

The isxdigit() function returns non-zero for true and zero for false. If the parameter is not in the domain of the function, the return result is undefined.

CONFORMANCE

ANSI/ISO 9899-1990.

MULTITHREAD SAFETY LEVEL

MT-Safe, with exceptions.

This function is MT-Safe as long as no thread calls setlocale() while this function is executing.

PORTING ISSUES

None.
