NAME

       iswblank - test for whitespace wide character

LIBRARY

       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wctype.h>

       int iswblank(wint_t wc);

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

       iswblank():
           _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L

DESCRIPTION

       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

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