.SH NAME
iswspace \- test for whitespace wide character
.SH LIBRARY
Standard C library
.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #include <wctype.h>
.P
.BI "int iswspace(wint_t " wc );
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR iswspace ()
function is the wide-character equivalent of the
.BR isspace (3)
function.
It tests whether
.I wc
is a wide character
belonging to the wide-character class "space".
.P
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".
.\" Note: UNIX98 (susv2/xbd/locale.html) says that "space" and "graph" may
.\" have characters in common, except U+0020. But C99 (ISO/IEC 9899:1999
.\" section 7.25.2.1.10) says that "space" and "graph" are disjoint.
.P
The wide-character class "space" contains the wide-character class "blank".
.P
The wide-character class "space"
always contains at least the space character
and the control characters
\[aq]\ef\[aq], \[aq]\en\[aq], \[aq]\er\[aq], \[aq]\et\[aq], and \[aq]\ev\[aq].
.SH RETURN VALUE
The
.BR iswspace ()
function returns nonzero if
.I wc
is a wide character
belonging to the wide-character class "space".
Otherwise, it returns zero.

.B LC_CTYPE
category of the
current locale.
