wcsspn(3)

NAME

   wcsspn  -  advance in a wide-character string, skipping any of a set of
   wide characters

SYNOPSIS

   #include <wchar.h>

   size_t wcsspn(const wchar_t *wcs, const wchar_t *accept);

DESCRIPTION

   The wcsspn() function is the wide-character equivalent of the strspn(3)
   function.   It  determines the length of the longest initial segment of
   wcs which consists entirely of wide-characters listed  in  accept.   In
   other words, it searches for the first occurrence in the wide-character
   string wcs of a wide-character  not  contained  in  the  wide-character
   string accept.

RETURN VALUE

   The  wcsspn()  function  returns  the  number of wide characters in the
   longest initial  segment  of  wcs  which  consists  entirely  of  wide-
   characters  listed  in accept.  In other words, it returns the position
   of the first occurrence in the wide-character string  wcs  of  a  wide-
   character  not  contained  in  the  wide-character  string  accept,  or
   wcslen(wcs) if there is none.
