It tests whether \fIwc\fP is a wide character belonging to the wide-character class "space". .PP 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". .\" Note: UNIX98 (susv2/xbd/locale.html) says that "space" and "graph" may .\" have characters in common, except U+0020. But C99 (ISO/IEC 9899:1999 .\" section 7.25.2.1.10) says that "space" and "graph" are disjoint. .PP The wide-character class "space" contains the wide-character class "blank". .PP The wide-character class "space" always contains at least the space character and the control characters '\\f', '\\n', '\\r', '\\t', '\\v'. .SH "RETURN VALUE" The \fBiswspace\fP() function returns non-zero if \fIwc\fP is a wide character belonging to the wide-character class "space". Otherwise it returns zero. .SH "CONFORMING TO" C99. .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR isspace (3), .BR iswctype (3) .SH NOTES The behaviour of \fBiswspace\fP() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale.
