text, are hexadecimal 'digits'.
textThe tested string.
Note:
If an int between -128 and 255 inclusive is provided, it is interpreted as the ASCII value of a single character (negative values have 256 added in order to allow characters in the Extended ASCII range). Any other integer is interpreted as a string containing the decimal digits of the integer.

a hexadecimal 'digit', that is a decimal digit or a character from

When called with an empty string the result will always be false.

} else {
echo "The string $testcase does not consist of all hexadecimal digits.\n";
