#### Procedure
       SpiceBoolean iswhsp_c ( ConstSpiceChar * string )
#### Abstract
       Return a boolean value indicating whether a string contains
       only white space characters.
#### Required_Reading
       None.
#### Keywords
       FILES,  TEXT
#### Brief_I/O
       Variable  I/O  Description
       --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
       string     I   String to be tested.

       The function returns the boolean value SPICETRUE if the string is
       empty or contains only white space characters; otherwise it returns
       the value SPICEFALSE.
#### Detailed_Input
       string     is a character pointer designating a string to be
                  searched for non-white-space characters.
#### Detailed_Output
       The function returns the boolean value SPICETRUE if the string
       contains only white space characters; otherwise it returns the
       value SPICEFALSE.

       White space characters are those in the set

          { ' ', '\f', '\n', '\r', '\t', '\v' }
#### Parameters
       None.
#### Exceptions
       1)  If the input string pointer is null, the error SPICE(NULLPOINTER)
           is signaled.

       2)  An empty string, that is a string with a null character
           at index 0, is considered to be blank.
#### Files
       None.
#### Particulars
       This routine provides a short cut for testing lines for the presence
       of non-blank characters; this is a test which is performed frequently
       in CSPICE.
#### Examples
       1) Read a text file; print the non-blank lines.

             #include <stdio.h>
             #include "SpiceUsr.h"

             void main()
             {
                #define MAXLEN 82

                FILE          *fptr;
                SpiceBoolean   eof;
                SpiceChar      line [MAXLEN];

                txtopr_c ( "myfile", &fptr );

                readln_c ( fptr, MAXLEN, line, &eof );

                while ( !eof )
                {
                   if ( !iswhsp_c(line) )
                   {
                      printf ( "%s\n", line );
                   }

                   readln_c ( fptr, MAXLEN, line, &eof );
                }
             }

#### Version
       -CSPICE Version 1.1.0, 27-AUG-1999 (NJB)

          Now checks for null input string.

       -CSPICE Version 1.0.0, 24-FEB-1999 (NJB)

          Arguments passed to isspace are now cast to unsigned char to
          suppress compilation warnings on some systems.
