       This  manual  page  is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface
       may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the  interface
       may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

       iswblank, iswblank_l — test for a blank wide-character code

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wctype.h>

       int iswblank(wint_t wc);
       int iswblank_l(wint_t wc, locale_t locale);

DESCRIPTION

       For  iswblank():  The  functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard.
       Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume
       of POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.

       The iswblank() and iswblank() functions shall test whether wc is a  wide-character  code  representing  a
       character of class blank in the current locale, or in the locale represented by locale, respectively; see
       the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2017, Chapter 7, Locale.

       The  wc  argument  is  a wint_t, the value of which the application shall ensure is a wide-character code
       corresponding to a valid character in the locale used by the function, or equal to the value of the macro
       WEOF. If the argument has any other value, the behavior is undefined.

       The behavior is  undefined  if  the  locale  argument  to  iswblank_l()  is  the  special  locale  object
       LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid locale object handle.

RETURN VALUE

       The  iswblank()  and  iswblank_l()  functions shall return non-zero if wc is a blank wide-character code;
       otherwise, they shall return 0.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.

EXAMPLES

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

       To ensure applications portability, especially across natural languages, only  these  functions  and  the
       functions  in  the  reference  pages  listed  in  the  SEE  ALSO  section  should  be  used for character
       classification.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
