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

PROLOG         top

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

NAME         top

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

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <wchar.h>
       size_t wcslen(const wchar_t *ws);
       size_t wcsnlen(const wchar_t *ws, size_t maxlen);

DESCRIPTION         top

       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
       terminating null wide-character code, and the value of maxlen.  The
       wcsnlen() function shall never examine more than the first maxlen
       characters of the wide-character string pointed to by ws.

RETURN VALUE         top

       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.
