WCSLEN(3P)						     POSIX Programmer's Manual							WCSLEN(3P)

PROLOG

       This  manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond-
       ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

       wcslen, wcsnlen -- get length of a fixed-sized wide-character string

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wchar.h>

       size_t wcslen(const wchar_t *ws);
       size_t wcsnlen(const wchar_t *ws, size_t maxlen);

DESCRIPTION

       For wcslen(): The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the  requirements
       described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2008 defers to the ISO C standard.

       The  wcslen()  function shall compute the number of wide-character codes in the wide-character string to which ws points, not including the
       terminating null wide-character code.

       The wcsnlen() function shall compute the smaller of the number of wide characters in the string to which ws points, not including the  ter-
       minating  null wide-character code, and the value of maxlen.  The wcsnlen() function shall never examine more than the first maxlen charac-
       ters of the wide-character string pointed to by ws.

RETURN VALUE

       The wcslen() function shall return the length of ws.

       The wcsnlen() function shall return an integer containing the smaller of either the length of the wide-character string pointed to by ws or
       maxlen.

       No return values are reserved to indicate an error.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

       None.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.

PROLOG

NAME

       wcscspn -- get the length of a complementary wide substring

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wchar.h>

       size_t wcscspn(const wchar_t *ws1, const wchar_t *ws2);

DESCRIPTION

       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here
       and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2008 defers to the ISO C standard.

       The wcscspn() function shall compute the length (in wide characters) of the maximum initial segment of the wide-character string pointed to
       by ws1 which consists entirely of wide-character codes not from the wide-character string pointed to by ws2.

RETURN VALUE

       The wcscspn() function shall return the length of the initial substring of ws1; no return value is reserved to indicate an error.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

       None.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
