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       iswspace, iswspace_l — test for a white-space wide-character code
13

SYNOPSIS

15       #include <wctype.h>
16
17       int iswspace(wint_t wc);
18       int iswspace_l(wint_t wc, locale_t locale);
19

DESCRIPTION

21       For iswspace(): 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  iswspace()  and  iswspace_l() functions shall test whether wc is a
27       wide-character code representing a character of class space in the cur‐
28       rent  locale, or in the locale represented by locale, respectively; see
29       the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2017, Chapter 7, Locale.
30
31       The wc argument is a wint_t, the value of which the  application  shall
32       ensure  is  a wide-character code corresponding to a valid character in
33       the locale used by the function, or equal to the  value  of  the  macro
34       WEOF. If the argument has any other value, the behavior is undefined.
35
36       The behavior is undefined if the locale argument to iswspace_l() is the
37       special locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid locale  object
38       handle.
39

RETURN VALUE

41       The  iswspace()  and iswspace_l() functions shall return non-zero if wc
42       is a white-space wide-character code; otherwise, they shall return 0.
43

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.
