NAME

       iswalnum - test for an alphanumeric wide-character code

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wctype.h>

       int iswalnum(wint_t wc);

DESCRIPTION

       The  iswalnum() function shall test whether wc is a wide-character code
       representing a character of class  alpha  or  digit  in  the  program’s
       current    locale;    see    the    Base    Definitions    volume    of
       IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Chapter 7, Locale.

       The wc argument is a wint_t, the value of which the  application  shall
       ensure  is  a wide-character code corresponding to a valid character in
       the current locale, or equal to the value of the  macro  WEOF.  If  the
       argument has any other value, the behavior is undefined.

RETURN VALUE

       The  iswalnum() function shall return non-zero if wc is an alphanumeric
       wide-character code; otherwise, it shall return 0.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.

APPLICATION USAGE

       To  ensure  applications   portability,   especially   across   natural
       languages,  only this function and those listed in the SEE ALSO section
       should be used for classification of wide-character codes.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
