NAME
wcswcs - find a wide substring (LEGACY) SYNOPSIS
#include <wchar.h> wchar_t *wcswcs(const wchar_t *ws1, const wchar_t *ws2); DESCRIPTION
The wcswcs() function shall locate the first occurrence in the wide-character string pointed to by ws1 of the sequence of wide-character codes (excluding the terminating null wide-character code) in the wide-character string pointed to by ws2. RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, wcswcs() shall return a pointer to the located wide-character string or a null pointer if the wide-character string is not found. If ws2 points to a wide-character string with zero length, the function shall return ws1. ERRORS
No errors are defined. The following sections are informative. EXAMPLES
None. APPLICATION USAGE
This function was not included in the final ISO/IEC 9899:1990/Amendment 1:1995 (E). Application developers are strongly encouraged to use the wcsstr() function instead. RATIONALE
