function
<cwctype>

iswspace

int iswspace (wint_t c);
Check if wide character is a white-space
Checks whether c is a white-space character.

A white-space is a character considered by a specific locale as a space separating words, lines and/or paragraphs.

This function is the wide-character equivalent of isspace (<cctype>): If c translates with wctob to a character for which isspace is true, it is always considered a white-space character by this function too.

In C++, a locale-specific template version of this function (isspace) exists in header <locale> for all character types.

Parameters

c
Wide character to be checked, casted to a wint_t, or WEOF.
wint_t is an integral type.

Return Value

A value different from zero (i.e., true) if indeed c is a white-space character. Zero (i.e., false) otherwise.
