       To  ensure  applications  portability,  especially across natural languages, only these functions and the
       functions in the  reference  pages  listed  in  the  SEE  ALSO  section  should  be  used  for  character
       classification.

       For isspace(): The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any
       conflict  between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of
       POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.

       The isspace() and isspace_l() functions shall test whether c is a character of class space in the current
       locale, or in the locale represented  by  locale,  respectively;  see  the  Base  Definitions  volume  of
       POSIX.1‐2017, Chapter7, Locale.

       The c argument is an int, the value of which the application shall ensure is a character representable as
       an  unsignedchar  or  equal  to  the  value  of the macro EOF. If the argument has any other value, the
       behavior is undefined.

       The behavior  is  undefined  if  the  locale  argument  to  isspace_l()  is  the  special  locale  object
       LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid locale object handle.

       No errors are defined.

       isspace, isspace_l — test for a white-space character

       This  manual  page  is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface
       may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the  interface
       may not be implemented on Linux.

       None.

       The isspace() and isspace_l() functions shall return non-zero if c is a white-space character; otherwise,
       they shall return 0.
