It tests whether \fIwc\fP is a wide character belonging to the wide character class "blank". .PP The wide character class "blank" is a subclass of the wide character class "space". .PP Being a subclass of the wide character class "space", the wide character class "blank" is disjoint from the wide character class "graph" and therefore also disjoint from its subclasses "alnum", "alpha", "upper", "lower", "digit", "xdigit", "punct". .PP The wide character class "blank" always contains at least the space character and the control character '\\t'. .SH "RETURN VALUE" The \fBiswblank\fP function returns non-zero if \fIwc\fP is a wide character belonging to the wide character class "blank". Otherwise it returns zero. .SH "CONFORMING TO" This function is a GNU extension. .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR isblank "(3), " iswctype (3) .SH NOTES The behaviour of \fBiswblank\fP depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale.
