.TH ISWBLANK 3  1999-07-25 "GNU" "Linux Programmer's Manual"
.SH NAME
iswblank \- test for whitespace wide character
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #include <wctype.h>
.sp
.BI "int iswblank(wint_t " wc );
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR iswblank ()
function is the wide-character equivalent of the
.BR isblank (3)
function.
It tests whether \fIwc\fP is a wide character
belonging to the wide-character class "blank".
.PP
The wide-character class "blank" is a subclass of the wide-character class
"space".
.PP
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".
.PP
The wide-character class "blank" always contains
at least the space character
and the control character '\\t'.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
The
.BR iswblank ()
function returns non-zero
if \fIwc\fP is a wide character
belonging to the wide-character class "blank".
Otherwise it returns zero.
.SH "CONFORMING TO"
POSIX.1-2001.
.SH NOTES
The behavior of
.BR iswblank ()
depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the
current locale.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.BR isblank (3),
.BR iswctype (3)
