PROLOG

       This  manual  page  is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface
       may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the  interface
       may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

       wcslen, wcsnlen — get length of a fixed-sized wide-character string

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wchar.h>

       size_t wcslen(const wchar_t *ws);
       size_t wcsnlen(const wchar_t *ws, size_t maxlen);

DESCRIPTION

       For  wcslen(): The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any
       conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume  of
       POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.

       The  wcslen()  function  shall compute the number of wide-character codes in the wide-character string to
       which ws points, not including the terminating null wide-character code.

       The wcsnlen() function shall compute the smaller of the number of wide characters in the array  to  which
       ws  points,  not  including  any  terminating  null  wide-character  code,  and the value of maxlen.  The
       wcsnlen() function shall never examine more than the first maxlen characters of the wide-character  array
       pointed to by ws.

RETURN VALUE

       The wcslen() function shall return the length of ws.

       The wcsnlen() function shall return the number of wide characters preceding the first null wide-character
       code  in  the array to which ws points, if ws contains a null wide-character code within the first maxlen
       wide characters; otherwise, it shall return maxlen.

       No return values are reserved to indicate an error.
