Description
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'.
History
POSIX.1-2001, C99.
Library
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
Name
iswspace - test for whitespace wide character
Notes
The behavior of iswspace() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale.
Return Value
The iswspace() function returns nonzero if wc is a wide character belonging to the wide-character class
"space". Otherwise, it returns zero.
