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 wide-character equivalent of the isspace(3) function.  It tests whether wc
       is a wide character belonging to the wide-character class "space".

       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".

       The wide-character class "space" contains the wide-character class "blank".

       The wide-character class "space" always contains at least the space character and the control  characters
       '\f', '\n', '\r', '\t', and '\v'.

RETURN VALUE

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