wcsnlen(3)


NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

   #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

   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

   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

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