NAME

       isxdigit - test for a hexadecimal digit

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ctype.h>

       int isxdigit(int c);

DESCRIPTION

       The  isxdigit()  function  shall  test  whether  c  is  a character of class xdigit in the
       program's current locale; see the Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Chapter
       7, Locale.

       The  c  argument is an int, the value of which the application shall ensure is a character
       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  isxdigit()  function shall return non-zero if c is a hexadecimal digit; otherwise, it
       shall return 0.
