WCSNLEN(3)                Linux Programmer's Manual               WCSNLEN(3)

NAME         top

       wcsnlen - determine the length of a fixed-size wide-character string

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <wchar.h>
       size_t wcsnlen(const wchar_t *s, size_t maxlen);
   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
       wcsnlen():
           Since glibc 2.10:
               _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L
           Before glibc 2.10:
               _GNU_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION         top

       The wcsnlen() function is the wide-character equivalent of the
       strnlen(3) function.  It returns the number of wide-characters in the
       string pointed to by s, not including the terminating null wide
       character (L'\0'), but at most maxlen wide characters (note: this
       parameter is not a byte count).  In doing this, wcsnlen() looks at
       only the first maxlen wide characters at s and never beyond s+maxlen.

RETURN VALUE         top

       The wcsnlen() function returns wcslen(s), if that is less than
       maxlen, or maxlen if there is no null wide character among the first
       maxlen wide characters pointed to by s.

VERSIONS         top

       The wcsnlen() function is provided in glibc since version 2.1.
