Synopsis

#include <wchar.h>

size_t wcscspn(const wchar_t *ws1, const wchar_t *ws2);

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.1-2017 defers to the ISO C standard.

Return Value

The wcscspn() function shall return the length of the initial substring of ws1; no return value is reserved to indicate an error.
