19 The iswblank() function is the wide-character equivalent of the
20 isblank(3) function. It tests whether wc is a wide character belonging
21 to the wide-character class "blank".
22
23 The wide-character class "blank" is a subclass of the wide-character
24 class "space".
25
26 Being a subclass of the wide-character class "space", the wide-charac‐
27 ter class "blank" is disjoint from the wide-character class "graph" and
28 therefore also disjoint from its subclasses "alnum", "alpha", "upper",
29 "lower", "digit", "xdigit", "punct".
30
31 The wide-character class "blank" always contains at least the space
32 character and the control character '\t'.
33
35 The iswblank() function returns nonzero if wc is a wide character
36 belonging to the wide-character class "blank". Otherwise, it returns
37 zero.

53 rent locale.
