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

19.B #include <wctype.h>
20.sp
21.BI "int iswalnum(wint_t " wc );

23.SH DESCRIPTION

MK
24The
25.BR iswalnum ()
26function is the wide-character equivalent of the
27.BR isalnum ()
28function.
c13182ef 29It tests whether \fIwc\fP is a wide character
d0f17b57 30belonging to the wide-character class "alnum".
fea681da 31.PP
d0f17b57
MK
32The wide-character class "alnum" is a subclass of the wide-character class
33"graph", and therefore also a subclass of the wide-character class "print".
fea681da 34.PP
d0f17b57
MK
35Being a subclass of the wide-character class "print",
36the wide-character class
37"alnum" is disjoint from the wide-character class "cntrl".
fea681da 38.PP
d0f17b57
MK
39Being a subclass of the wide-character class "graph",
40the wide-character class "alnum" is disjoint from
41the wide-character class "space" and its subclass "blank".
fea681da 42.PP
d0f17b57 43The wide-character class "alnum" is disjoint from the wide-character class
fea681da
MK
44"punct".
45.PP
d0f17b57 46The wide-character class "alnum" is the union of the wide-character classes
c13182ef 47"alpha" and "digit".
d0f17b57 48As such, it also contains the wide-character class
fea681da
MK
49"xdigit".
50.PP
d0f17b57 51The wide-character class "alnum" always contains at least the letters 'A'
fea681da
MK
52to 'Z', 'a' to 'z' and the digits '0' to '9'.
53.SH "RETURN VALUE"
60a90ecd
MK
54The
55.BR iswalnum ()
56function returns non-zero
fbe183be 57if \fIwc\fP is a wide character
d0f17b57 58belonging to the wide-character class "alnum".
c13182ef 59Otherwise it returns zero.

fea681da 62.SH NOTES

MK
63The behaviour of
