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. .LP \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 .LP None. .SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS .LP None. .SH SEE ALSO .LP \fIisalnum\fP() , \fIisalpha\fP() , \fIiscntrl\fP() , \fIisdigit\fP() , \fIisgraph\fP() , \fIislower\fP() , \fIisprint\fP() , \fIispunct\fP() , \fIisspace\fP() , \fIisupper\fP() , the Base Definitions volume of IEEE\ Std\ 1003.1-2001, Chapter 7, Locale, \fI\fP .SH COPYRIGHT Portions of this text are reprinted and reproduced in electronic form from IEEE Std 1003.1, 2003 Edition, Standard for Information Technology -- Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX), The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 6, Copyright (C) 2001-2003 by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc and The Open Group.
