	47	.Sh SYNOPSIS
	48	.In ctype.h
	49	.Ft int
	50	.Fn isspace "int c"
	51	.Sh DESCRIPTION
	52	The
	53	.Fn isspace
	54	function tests for the white-space characters.
	55	For any locale, this includes the following standard characters:
	56	.Pp
	57	.Bl -column \&`\et''___ \&``\et''___ \&``\et''___ \&``\et''___ \&``\et''___ \&``\et''___
	58	.It "\&``\et''\t``\en''\t``\ev''\t``\ef''\t``\er''\t`` ''"
	59	.El
	60	.Pp
	61	In the "C" locale,
	62	.Fn isspace
	63	successful test is limited to these characters only.
	64	For single C
	65	.Va char Ns s
	66	locales (see
	67	.Xr multibyte 3 ) ,
	68	the value of the argument is
	69	representable as an
	70	.Li unsigned char
	71	or the value of
	72	.Dv EOF .
	73	.Sh RETURN VALUES
	74	The
	75	.Fn isspace
	76	function returns zero if the character tests false and
	77	returns non-zero if the character tests true.
	78	.Sh COMPATIBILITY
	79	The
	80	.Bx 4.4
	81	extension of accepting arguments outside of the range of the
	82	.Vt "unsigned char"
	83	type in locales with large character sets is considered obsolete
	84	and may not be supported in future releases.
	85	The
	86	.Fn iswspace
	87	function should be used instead.

	94	.Sh STANDARDS
	95	The
	96	.Fn isspace
	97	function conforms to
	98	.St -isoC .
