Ascertains whether a given wide character produces space

 #include <wctype.h> int iswspace ( wint_t wc  ); 

The iswspace( ) function is the wide-character version of the isspace( ) character classification function. It tests whether its wide character argument produces whitespace rather than a glyph when printedthat is, a space, tabulator, newline, or the like. If the argument is a whitespace wide character, iswspace( ) returns a nonzero value (that is, TRue); if not, the function returns 0 (false).

Which wide characters fall into the whitespace class depends on the current locale setting for the category LC_CTYPE, which you can query or change using the setlocale( ) function. In all locales, however, if iswspace( ) is true for a given wide character, then iswalnum( ), iswgraph( ), and iswpunct( ) are false.
