34.Os
35.Sh NAME
36.Nm isdigit ,
37.Nm isnumber ,
38.Nm isdigit_l ,
39.Nm isnumber_l
40.Nd decimal-digit character test
41.Sh LIBRARY
42.Lb libc
43.Sh SYNOPSIS
44.In ctype.h
45.Ft int
46.Fn isdigit "int c"
47.Ft int
48.Fn isnumber "int c"
49.Ft int
50.Fn isdigit_l "int c" "locale_t loc"
51.Ft int
52.Fn isnumber_l "int c" "locale_t loc"
53.Sh DESCRIPTION
54The
55.Fn isdigit
56and
57.Fn isdigit_l
58functions test for a decimal digit character.
59Regardless of locale, this includes the following characters only:
60.Bl -column \&``0''______ \&``0''______ \&``0''______ \&``0''______ \&``0''______
61.It "\&``0''" Ta "``1''" Ta "``2''" Ta "``3''" Ta "``4''"
62.It "\&``5''" Ta "``6''" Ta "``7''" Ta "``8''" Ta "``9''"
63.El
64.Pp
65The
66.Fn isnumber
67and
68.Fn isnumber_l
69functions behave similarly to
70.Fn isdigit
71and
72.Fn isdigit_l ,
73but may recognize additional characters, depending on the current locale
74setting.
75.Pp
76The value of the argument must be representable as an
77.Vt "unsigned char"
78or the value of
79.Dv EOF .
80.Pp
81The _l-suffixed versions take an explicit locale argument, whereas the
82non-suffixed versions use the current global or per-thread locale.
83.Sh RETURN VALUES
84The
85.Fn isdigit ,
86.Fn isdigit_l ,
87.Fn isnumber ,
88and
89.Fn isnumber_l
90functions return zero if the character tests false and
91return non-zero if the character tests true.
92.Sh COMPATIBILITY
93The
94.Bx 4.4
95extension of accepting arguments outside of the range of the
96.Vt "unsigned char"
97type in locales with large character sets is considered obsolete
98and may not be supported in future releases.
99The
100.Fn iswdigit
101or
102.Fn iswdigit_l
103function should be used instead.

112.Sh STANDARDS
113The
114.Fn isdigit
115function conforms to
116.St -isoC .
117The
118.Fn isdigit_l
119function conforms to
120.St -p1003.1-2008 .
