3.5 isdigit—decimal digit predicate

Synopsis

     #include <ctype.h>
     int isdigit(int c);
     

Description
isdigit is a macro which classifies ASCII integer values by table lookup. It is a predicate returning non-zero for decimal digits, and 0 for other characters. It is defined only when isascii(c) is true or c is EOF.

You can use a compiled subroutine instead of the macro definition by undefining the macro using `#undef isdigit'.


Returns
isdigit returns non-zero if c is a decimal digit (09).


Portability
isdigit is ANSI C.

No supporting OS subroutines are required.
