WMEMCHR(3)                 POSIX Programmer's Manual                WMEMCHR(3)



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


NAME
       wmemchr -- find a wide character in memory

SYNOPSIS
       #include <wchar.h>

       wchar_t *wmemchr(const wchar_t *ws, wchar_t wc, size_t _n);

DESCRIPTION
       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.1-2008
       defers to the ISO C standard.

       The wmemchr() function shall locate the first occurrence of wc in the
       initial _n wide characters of the object pointed to by ws.  This
       function shall not be affected by locale and all wchar_t values shall
       be treated identically. The null wide character and wchar_t values not
       corresponding to valid characters shall not be treated specially.

       If _n is zero, the application shall ensure that ws is a valid pointer
       and the function behaves as if no valid occurrence of wc is found.

RETURN VALUE
       The wmemchr() function shall return a pointer to the located wide
       character, or a null pointer if the wide character does not occur in
       the object.

ERRORS
       No errors are defined.
