NAME
isspace, isspace_l
— whitespace single-byte
character test
SYNOPSIS
#include
<ctype.h>
int
isspace(int
c);
int
isspace_l(int
c, locale_t
locale);
DESCRIPTION
The
isspace()
and
isspace_l()
functions test for whitespace characters.
In the C locale, the complete list of whitespace characters is:
OpenBSD always uses the C locale for these functions, ignoring the global locale, the thread-specific locale, and the locale argument.
RETURN VALUES
These functions return zero if the character tests false or non-zero if the character tests true.
ENVIRONMENT
On systems supporting non-ASCII single-byte character encodings,
these functions may return non-zero for additional characters, and the
results of isspace() may depend on the
LC_CTYPE
locale(1).

STANDARDS
The isspace() function conforms to
ANSI X3.159-1989 (“ANSI C89”),
and isspace_l() to IEEE Std
1003.1-2008 (“POSIX.1”).
HISTORY
The isspace() function first appeared in
Version 7 AT&T UNIX, and
isspace_l() has been available since
OpenBSD 6.2.
CAVEATS

EOF or representable as an unsigned
char; otherwise, the result is undefined.
