30.\" 31.Dd July 17, 2005 32.Dt ISBLANK 3 33.Os 34.Sh NAME 35.Nm isblank 36.Nd space or tab character test 37.Sh LIBRARY 38.Lb libc 39.Sh SYNOPSIS 40.In ctype.h 41.Ft int 42.Fn isblank "int c" |
43.Ft int 44.Fn isblank "int c" "locale_t loc" |
45.Sh DESCRIPTION 46The 47.Fn isblank 48function tests for a space or tab character. 49For any locale, this includes the following standard characters: 50.Bl -column XXXX 51.It Do \et Dc Ta Dq " " 52.El 53.Pp 54In the "C" locale, a successful 55.Fn isblank 56test is limited to these characters only. 57The value of the argument must be representable as an 58.Vt "unsigned char" 59or the value of 60.Dv EOF . |
61.Pp 62The 63.Fn isblank_l 64function takes an explicit locale argument, whereas the 65.Fn isblank 66function uses the current global or per-thread locale. |
67.Sh RETURN VALUES 68The 69.Fn isblank 70function returns zero if the character tests false and 71returns non-zero if the character tests true. 72.Sh COMPATIBILITY 73The 74.Bx 4.4 75extension of accepting arguments outside of the range of the 76.Vt "unsigned char" 77type in locales with large character sets is considered obsolete 78and may not be supported in future releases. 79The 80.Fn iswblank 81function should be used instead. 82.Sh SEE ALSO 83.Xr ctype 3 , 84.Xr iswblank 3 , |
