NAME

     isblank -- blank-space character test


LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)


SYNOPSIS

     #include <ctype.h>

     int
     isblank(int c);


DESCRIPTION

     The isblank() function tests for the standard blank-space characters.
     The standard blank-space characters are the following:

           ` '    Space character.
           \t     Horizontal tab.

     In the ``C'' locale, isblank() returns true only for the standard blank-
     space characters.


RETURN VALUES

     The isblank() function returns zero if the character tests false and
     returns non-zero if the character tests true.
