PROLOG

6       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
7       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the  corresponding
8       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
9       not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

12       isspace, isspace_l — test for a white-space character
13

SYNOPSIS

15       #include <ctype.h>
16
17       int isspace(int c);
18       int isspace_l(int c, locale_t locale);
19

DESCRIPTION

21       For isspace(): The functionality described on this  reference  page  is
22       aligned  with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements
23       described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume  of
24       POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.
25
26       The isspace() and isspace_l() functions shall test whether c is a char‐
27       acter of class space in the current locale, or  in  the  locale  repre‐
28       sented  by  locale,  respectively;  see  the Base Definitions volume of
29       POSIX.1‐2017, Chapter 7, Locale.
30
31       The c argument is an int, the value  of  which  the  application  shall
32       ensure is a character representable as an unsigned char or equal to the
33       value of the macro EOF. If the argument has any other value, the behav‐
34       ior is undefined.
35
36       The  behavior is undefined if the locale argument to isspace_l() is the
37       special locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid locale  object
38       handle.
39

RETURN VALUE

41       The isspace() and isspace_l() functions shall return non-zero if c is a
42       white-space character; otherwise, they shall return 0.

APPLICATION USAGE

53       To ensure applications  portability,  especially  across  natural  lan‐
54       guages,  only  these functions and the functions in the reference pages
55       listed in the SEE ALSO section should be used for character classifica‐
56       tion.
