-d list
Unless a backslash character appears in list, each character in list is an element specifying a delimiter character. If a backslash character appears in list, the backslash character and one or more characters following it are an element specifying a delimiter character as described below. These elements specify one or more delimiters to use, instead of the default <tab>, to replace the <newline> of the input lines. The elements in list shall be used circularly; that is, when the list is exhausted the first element from the list is reused. When the -s option is specified:
......
\0
Empty string (not a null character). If '\0' is immediately followed by the character 'x', the character 'X', or any character defined by the LC_CTYPE digit keyword (see the Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Chapter 7, Locale), the results are unspecified.

PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond- ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux. NAME
iswdigit - test for a decimal digit wide-character code SYNOPSIS
#include <wctype.h> int iswdigit(wint_t wc); DESCRIPTION
The iswdigit() function shall test whether wc is a wide-character code representing a character of class 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 iswdigit() function shall return non-zero if wc is a decimal digit 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. SEE ALSO
