NAME
       iswalnum - test for alphanumeric wide character

SYNOPSIS
       #include 

       int iswalnum(wint_t wc);

DESCRIPTION
       The  iswalnum()	function is the wide-character equivalent of the isal
       num(3) function.  It tests whether wc is a wide character belonging  to
       the wide-character class "alnum".

       The  wide-character  class  "alnum" is a subclass of the wide-character
       class "graph", and therefore also  a  subclass  of  the	wide-character
       class "print".

       Being  a subclass of the wide-character class "print", the wide-charac
       ter class "alnum" is disjoint from the wide-character class "cntrl".

       Being a subclass of the wide-character class "graph", the  wide-charac
       ter class "alnum" is disjoint from the wide-character class "space" and
       its subclass "blank".

       The wide-character class "alnum" is disjoint  from  the	wide-character
       class "punct".

       The  wide-character  class  "alnum"  is the union of the wide-character
       classes "alpha" and "digit".  As such, it also contains the  wide-char
       acter class "xdigit".

       The  wide-character  class "alnum" always contains at least the letters
       'A' to 'Z', 'a' to 'z' and the digits '0' to '9'.

RETURN VALUE
       The iswalnum() function returns non-zero if  wc	is  a  wide  character
       belonging  to  the  wide-character class "alnum".  Otherwise it returns
       zero.

CONFORMING TO
       C99.

NOTES
       The behavior of iswalnum() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the cur
       rent locale.
