15.SH NAME
16iswalnum \- test for alphanumeric wide character
17.SH SYNOPSIS

23.SH DESCRIPTION
e511ffb6 24The \fBiswalnum\fP() function is the wide-character equivalent of the
3382bd94 25\fBisalnum\fP() function. It tests whether \fIwc\fP is a wide character

26belonging to the wide character class "alnum".
27.PP
28The wide character class "alnum" is a subclass of the wide character class
29"graph", and therefore also a subclass of the wide character class "print".
30.PP
31Being a subclass of the wide character class "print", the wide character class
32"alnum" is disjoint from the wide character class "cntrl".
33.PP
34Being a subclass of the wide character class "graph", the wide character class
35"alnum" is disjoint from the wide character class "space" and its subclass
36"blank".
37.PP
38The wide character class "alnum" is disjoint from the wide character class
39"punct".
40.PP
41The wide character class "alnum" is the union of the wide character classes
42"alpha" and "digit". As such, it also contains the wide character class
43"xdigit".
44.PP
45The wide character class "alnum" always contains at least the letters 'A'
46to 'Z', 'a' to 'z' and the digits '0' to '9'.
47.SH "RETURN VALUE"
e511ffb6 48The \fBiswalnum\fP() function returns non-zero if \fIwc\fP is a wide character
