.SH NAME
wcsnlen \- determine the length of a fixed-size wide-character string
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #define _GNU_SOURCE
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
.B #include <wchar.h>

.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR wcsnlen ()
function is the wide-character equivalent
of the
.BR strnlen (3)
function.
It returns the number of wide-characters in the string pointed to by
2008-06-09 15:49:35 +00:00
\fIs\fP, not including the terminating L\(aq\\0\(aq character, but at most
\fImaxlen\fP.
In doing this,
.BR wcsnlen ()
looks only at the first \fImaxlen\fP
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
wide-characters at \fIs\fP and never beyond \fIs+maxlen\fP.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
The
.BR wcsnlen ()
function returns \fIwcslen(s)\fP, if that is less than
2008-06-09 15:49:35 +00:00
\fImaxlen\fP, or \fImaxlen\fP if there is no L\(aq\\0\(aq character among the
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
first \fImaxlen\fP wide characters pointed to by \fIs\fP.
.SH "CONFORMING TO"
This function is a GNU extension.
