isalnum, iswalnum, _isalnum_l, _iswalnum_l

The latest version of this topic can be found at isalnum, iswalnum, _isalnum_l, _iswalnum_l.

Determines whether an integer represents an alphanumeric character.

Syntax

int isalnum(   
   int c   
);  
int iswalnum(   
   wint_t c   
);  
int _isalnum_l(   
   int c,  
   _locale_t locale  
);  
int _iswalnum_l(   
   wint_t c,  
   _locale_t locale  
);  

Parameters

c
Integer to test.

locale
The locale to use.

Return Value

Each of these routines returns nonzero if c is a particular representation of an alphanumeric character. isalnum returns a nonzero value if either isalpha or isdigit is nonzero for c, that is, if c is within the ranges A – Z, a – z, or 0 – 9. iswalnum returns a nonzero value if either iswalpha or iswdigit is nonzero for c. Each of these routines returns 0 if c does not satisfy the test condition.

The versions of these functions that have the _l suffix use the locale parameter that's passed in instead of the current locale. For more information, see Locale.

The behavior of isalnum and _isalnum_l is undefined if c is not EOF or in the range 0 through 0xFF, inclusive. When a debug CRT library is used and c is not one of these values, the functions raise an assertion.
