Overview

The digittoint() and digittoint_l() functions convert a numeric character to its corresponding integer value. The character can be any decimal digit or hexadecimal digit. With hexadecimal characters, the case of the values does not matter.

The digittoint_l() function takes an explicit locale argument, whereas the digittoint() function use the current global or per-thread locale.

Return values

The digittoint() and digittoint_l() functions always return an integer from the range of 0 to 15. If the given character was not a digit as defined by isxdigit(3) or isxdigit_l(3), the function will return 0.
