ISALNUM(3P)             POSIX Programmer's Manual            ISALNUM(3P)

PROLOG

       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The
       Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
       or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

       isalnum, isalnum_l — test for an alphanumeric character

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ctype.h>

       int isalnum(int c);
       int isalnum_l(int c, locale_t locale);

DESCRIPTION

       For isalnum(): The functionality described on this reference page
       is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the
       requirements described here and the ISO C standard is
       unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C
       standard.

       The isalnum() and isalnum_l() functions shall test whether c is a
       character of class alpha or digit in the current locale, or in
       the locale represented by locale, respectively; see the Base
       Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2017, Chapter 7, Locale.

       The c argument is an int, the value of which the application
       shall ensure is representable as an unsigned char or equal to the
       value of the macro EOF. If the argument has any other value, the
       behavior is undefined.

       The behavior is undefined if the locale argument to isalnum_l()
       is the special locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid
       locale object handle.

RETURN VALUE

       The isalnum() and isalnum_l() functions shall return non-zero if
       c is an alphanumeric character; otherwise, they shall return 0.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

       To ensure applications portability, especially across natural
       languages, only these functions and the functions in the
       reference pages listed in the SEE ALSO section should be used for
       character classification.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
