'v'	(0x0b)	vertical tab (VT)
'f'	(0x0c)	feed (FF)
'
'	(0x0d)	carriage return (CR)

int isspace(int c);

Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>

int main()
{
   int var1 = 't';
   int var2 = '1';
   int var3 = ' ';

   if( isspace(var1) )
   {
      printf("var1 = |%c| is a white-space character\n", var1 );
   }
   else
   {
      printf("var1 = |%c| is not a white-space character\n", var1 );
   }
   
   if( isspace(var2) )
   {
      printf("var2 = |%c| is a white-space character\n", var2 );
   }
   else
   {
      printf("var2 = |%c| is not a white-space character\n", var2 );
   }
   
   if( isspace(var3) )
   {
      printf("var3 = |%c| is a white-space character\n", var3 );
   }
   else
   {
      printf("var3 = |%c| is not a white-space character\n", var3 );
   }
