|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In ctype.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn isblank "int c"
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn isblank "int c" "locale_t loc"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn isblank
|
|
function tests for a space or tab character.
|
|
For any locale, this includes the following standard characters:
|
|
.Bl -column XXXX
|
|
.It Do \et Dc Ta Dq " "
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In the "C" locale, a successful
|
|
.Fn isblank
|
|
test is limited to these characters only.
|
|
The value of the argument must be representable as an
|
|
.Vt "unsigned char"
|
|
or the value of
|
|
.Dv EOF .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn isblank_l
|
|
function takes an explicit locale argument, whereas the
|
|
.Fn isblank
|
|
function uses the current global or per-thread locale.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn isblank
|
|
function returns zero if the character tests false and
|
|
returns non-zero if the character tests true.
|
|
.Sh COMPATIBILITY
|
|
The
|
|
.Bx 4.4
|
|
extension of accepting arguments outside of the range of the
|
|
.Vt "unsigned char"
|
|
type in locales with large character sets is considered obsolete
|
|
and may not be supported in future releases.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn iswblank
|
|
function should be used instead.
