Yes you're right for non C locales. In my en_IE.utf8 locale isblank() is the larger set of: 0009 TAB 0020 SPACE 1680 OGHAM SPACE MARK 180E MONGOLIAN VOWEL SEPARATOR 2000 EN QUAD 2001 EM QUAD 2002 EN SPACE 2003 EM SPACE 2004 THREE-PER-EM SPACE 2005 FOUR-PER-EM SPACE 2006 SIX-PER-EM SPACE 2008 PUNCTUATION SPACE 2009 THIN SPACE 200A HAIR SPACE 205F MEDIUM MATHEMATICAL SPACE 3000 IDEOGRAPHIC SPACE It could also be argued that my "spaces or tabs" was more descriptive, and could also imply the "spaces" above? Personally I had to `man isblank` to see what was considered blank, and the linux man page only mentions the space and tab chars anyway. thanks, Pádraig. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
