NAME

iswspace - test for whitespace wide character  

LIBRARY

Standard C library (libc,~-lc)  

SYNOPSIS

#include <wctype.h>
int iswspace(wint_t wc);

 

DESCRIPTION

The iswspace() function is the wid-character equivalent of the isspace(3) function. It tests whether wc is a wide character belonging to the wid-character class "space". The wid-character class "space" is disjoint from the wid-character class "graph" and therefore also disjoint from its subclasses "alnum", "alpha", "upper", "lower", "digit", "xdigit", "punct". The wid-character class "space" contains the wid-character class "blank". The wid-character class "space" always contains at least the space character and the control characters [aq][rs]f[aq], [aq][rs]n[aq], [aq][rs]r[aq], [aq][rs]t[aq], and [aq][rs]v[aq].  

RETURN VALUE

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