ISWBLANK(3)                   Linux Programmer's Manual                   ISWBLANK(3)

NAME         top

       iswblank - test for whitespace wide character

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <wctype.h>

       int iswblank(wint_t wc);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       iswblank(): _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 || _ISOC99_SOURCE; or cc -std=c99

DESCRIPTION         top

       The iswblank() function is the wide-character equivalent of the isblank(3)
       function.  It tests whether wc is a wide character belonging to the wide-
       character class "blank".

       The wide-character class "blank" is a subclass of the wide-character class
       "space".

       Being a subclass of the wide-character class "space", the wide-character class
       "blank" 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 "blank" always contains at least the space character
       and the control character '\t'.

RETURN VALUE         top

       The iswblank() function returns non-zero if wc is a wide character belonging
       to the wide-character class "blank".  Otherwise it returns zero.

CONFORMING TO         top

       POSIX.1-2001.

NOTES         top

       The behavior of iswblank() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current
       locale.
