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-1].
History
glibc 2.1.
Library
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
Name
wcsnlen - determine the length of a fixed-size wide-character string
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.
