ISALNUM(3)		 BSD Library Functions Manual		    ISALNUM(3)

NAME
     isalnum — alphanumeric character test

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <ctype.h>

     int
     isalnum(int c);

DESCRIPTION
     The isalnum() function tests for any character for which isalpha(3) or
     isdigit(3) is true.  The value of the argument must be representable as
     an unsigned char or the value of EOF.

     In the ASCII character set, this includes the following characters (with
     their numeric values shown in octal):

     060 ``0''	   061 ``1''	 062 ``2''     063 ``3''     064 ``4''
     065 ``5''	   066 ``6''	 067 ``7''     070 ``8''     071 ``9''
     101 ``A''	   102 ``B''	 103 ``C''     104 ``D''     105 ``E''
     106 ``F''	   107 ``G''	 110 ``H''     111 ``I''     112 ``J''
     113 ``K''	   114 ``L''	 115 ``M''     116 ``N''     117 ``O''
     120 ``P''	   121 ``Q''	 122 ``R''     123 ``S''     124 ``T''
     125 ``U''	   126 ``V''	 127 ``W''     130 ``X''     131 ``Y''
     132 ``Z''	   141 ``a''	 142 ``b''     143 ``c''     144 ``d''
     145 ``e''	   146 ``f''	 147 ``g''     150 ``h''     151 ``i''
     152 ``j''	   153 ``k''	 154 ``l''     155 ``m''     156 ``n''
     157 ``o''	   160 ``p''	 161 ``q''     162 ``r''     163 ``s''
     164 ``t''	   165 ``u''	 166 ``v''     167 ``w''     170 ``x''
     171 ``y''	   172 ``z''

RETURN VALUES
     The isalnum() function returns zero if the character tests false and
     returns non-zero if the character tests true.

COMPATIBILITY
     The 4.4BSD extension of accepting arguments outside of the range of the
     unsigned char type in locales with large character sets is considered
     obsolete and may not be supported in future releases.  The iswalnum()
     function should be used instead.

SEE ALSO
     ctype(3), isalpha(3), isdigit(3), iswalnum(3), ascii(7)

STANDARDS
     The isalnum() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1990 (“ISO C90”).
