PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (con-
       sult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the  interface  may  not  be  implemented  on
       Linux.

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.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES
       None.

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.
