NAME

       iswblank - test for whitespace wide character

SYNOPSIS

       #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 || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L;
              or cc -std=c99

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.

CONFORMING TO

       POSIX.1-2001.

NOTES

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