ISSPACE(3)		 BSD Library Functions Manual		    ISSPACE(3)

NAME
     isspace — white-space character test

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <ctype.h>

     int
     isspace(int c);

DESCRIPTION
     The isspace() function tests for the standard white-space characters for
     which isalnum(3) is false.	 The standard white-space characters are the
     following:

	   ‘ ’	  Space character.
	   \f	  Form feed.
	   \n	  New-line.
	   \r	  Carriage return.
	   \t	  Horizontal tab.
	   \v	  And vertical tab.

     In the ``C'' locale, isspace() returns true only for the standard white-
     space characters.

RETURN VALUES
     The isspace() function returns zero if the character tests false and
     returns non-zero if the character tests true.

     isdigit(3), isgraph(3), islower(3), isprint(3), ispunct(3), isupper(3),
     isxdigit(3), stdio(3), toascii(3), tolower(3), toupper(3), ascii(7)

STANDARDS
     The isspace() function conforms to ANSI X3.159-1989 (“ANSI C89”).

CAVEATS
     The argument to isspace() must be EOF or representable as an unsigned
     char; otherwise, the behavior is undefined.  See the CAVEATS section of
     ctype(3) for more details.
