	41	.Sh LIBRARY

	43	.Sh SYNOPSIS
	44	.In ctype.h
	45	.Ft int
	46	.Fn isspace "int c"
	47	.Sh DESCRIPTION
	48	The
	49	.Fn isspace
	50	function tests for the white-space characters.
	51	For any locale, this includes the following standard characters:
	52	.Pp
	53	.Bl -column \&`\et''___ \&``\et''___ \&``\et''___ \&``\et''___ \&``\et''___ \&``\et''___
	54	.It "\&``\et''\t``\en''\t``\ev''\t``\ef''\t``\er''\t`` ''"
	55	.El
	56	.Pp
	57	In the "C" locale,
	58	.Fn isspace
	59	successful test is limited to these characters only.
	60	The value of the argument must be representable as an
	61	.Vt "unsigned char"
	62	or the value of
	63	.Dv EOF .
	64	.Sh RETURN VALUES
	65	The
	66	.Fn isspace
	67	function returns zero if the character tests false and
	68	returns non-zero if the character tests true.
	69	.Sh COMPATIBILITY
	70	The
	71	.Bx 4.4
	72	extension of accepting arguments outside of the range of the
	73	.Vt "unsigned char"
	74	type in locales with large character sets is considered obsolete
	75	and may not be supported in future releases.
	76	The
	77	.Fn iswspace
	78	function should be used instead.
