Determines whether an integer represents a space character.

Syntax

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  
);  

Parameters

c
Integer to test.

locale
Locale to use.

Return Value

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; see setlocale, _wsetlocale for more information. The versions of these functions that do not 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 is not EOF or in the range 0 through 0xFF, inclusive. When a debug CRT library is used and c is not one of these values, the functions raise an assertion.
