NAME

       wcsstr - locate a substring in a wide-character string

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wchar.h>

       wchar_t *wcsstr(const wchar_t *haystack, const wchar_t *needle);

DESCRIPTION

       The  wcsstr()  function  is  the  wide-character equivalent of the strstr(3) function.  It
       searches for the first  occurrence  of  the  wide-character  string  needle  (without  its
       terminating  null  wide  character  (L'\0'))  as  a substring in the wide-character string
       haystack.

RETURN VALUE

       The wcsstr() function returns a pointer to the first occurrence of needle in haystack.  It
       returns NULL if needle does not occur as a substring in haystack.

       Note  the  special case: If needle is the empty wide-character string, the return value is
       always haystack itself.
