.SH NAME
isxdigit \- test for a hexadecimal digit
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
\fB#include <ctype.h>
.br
.sp
int isxdigit(int\fP \fIc\fP\fB);
.br
\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fIisxdigit\fP() function shall test whether \fIc\fP is a character
of class \fBxdigit\fP in the program's current
locale; see the Base Definitions volume of IEEE\ Std\ 1003.1-2001,
Chapter 7,
Locale.
.LP
The \fIc\fP argument is an \fBint\fP, the value of which the application
shall ensure is a character representable as an
\fBunsigned char\fP or equal to the value of the macro EOF. If the
argument has any other value, the behavior is undefined.
.SH RETURN VALUE
.LP
The \fIisxdigit\fP() function shall return non-zero if \fIc\fP is
a hexadecimal digit; otherwise, it shall return 0.
.SH ERRORS
.LP
No errors are defined.

\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
.SH EXAMPLES
.LP
None.
.SH APPLICATION USAGE
.LP
To ensure applications portability, especially across natural languages,
only this function and those listed in the SEE ALSO
section should be used for character classification.
.SH RATIONALE
