iswspace(3)             Library Functions Manual             iswspace(3)

NAME         top

       iswspace - test for whitespace wide character

LIBRARY         top

       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <wctype.h>

       int iswspace(wint_t wc);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The iswspace() function is the wide-character equivalent of the
       isspace(3) function.  It tests whether wc is a wide character
       belonging to the wide-character class "space".

       The wide-character class "space" is disjoint from the wide-
       character class "graph" and therefore also disjoint from its
       subclasses "alnum", "alpha", "upper", "lower", "digit", "xdigit",
       "punct".

       The wide-character class "space" contains the wide-character
       class "blank".

       The wide-character class "space" always contains at least the
       space character and the control characters '\f', '\n', '\r',
       '\t', and '\v'.

RETURN VALUE         top

       The iswspace() function returns nonzero if wc is a wide character
       belonging to the wide-character class "space".  Otherwise, it
       returns zero.
