isspace, iswspace, _isspace_l, _iswspace_l

Determines whether an integer represents a space character.

int isspace(
   int c
);
int iswspace(
   wint_t c
);
int _isspace_l(
   int c,
   _locale_t locale
);
int _iswspace_l(
   wint_t c,
   _locale_t locale
);

c
Integer to test.

locale
Locale to use.

Each of these routines returns nonzero if c is a particular representation of a space character. isspace returns a nonzero value if c is a white-space character (0x09 - 0x0D or 0x20). The result of the test condition for the isspace function depends on the LC_CTYPE category setting of the locale. For more information, see setlocale, _wsetlocale. The versions of these functions that don't have the _l suffix use the current locale for any locale-dependent behavior; the versions that do have the _l suffix are identical except that they use the locale that's passed in instead. For more information, see Locale.

iswspace returns a nonzero value if c is a wide character that corresponds to a standard white-space character.

The behavior of isspace and _isspace_l is undefined if c isn't EOF or in the range 0 through 0xFF, inclusive. When a debug CRT library is used and c isn't one of these values, the functions raise an assertion.

By default, this function's global state is scoped to the application. To change this behavior, see Global state in the CRT.
