.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
\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
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
\fImaxlen\fP, or \fImaxlen\fP if there is no L\(aq\\0\(aq character among the
first \fImaxlen\fP wide characters pointed to by \fIs\fP.
.SH VERSIONS
The
.BR wcsnlen ()
function is provided in glibc since version 2.1.
.SH "CONFORMING TO"
This function is a GNU extension.
