SYNOPSIS

       int wcswidth(const wchar_t *pwcs, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION

       The wcswidth() function determines the number of column positions required for n wide-character codes (or fewer than n wide-character codes
       if a null wide-character code is encountered before n wide-character codes are exhausted) in the string pointed to by pwcs.

RETURN VALUES

       The wcswidth() function either returns 0 (if pwcs points to a null wide-character code), or returns the number of column  positions  to	be
       occupied  by  the wide-character string pointed to by pwcs, or returns -1 (if any of the first n wide-character codes in the wide-character
       string pointed to by pwcs is not a printing wide-character code).
