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. .SH ATTRIBUTES For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see .BR attributes (7). .TS allbox; lbx lb lb l l l.
