# DESCRIPTION

These functions implement string manipulation operations over wide-character strings. For a detailed description, refer to the documents for the respective single-byte counterpart, such as memchr(3). The `wcswcs`() function is not a part of ISO/IEC 9899:1990 (“ISO C90”) and ISO/IEC 9899/AMD1:1995 (“ISO C90, Amendment 1”), the `wcsstr`() function is strongly recommended to be used.

# STANDARDS

The `wmemchr`(), `wmemcmp`(), `wmemcpy`(), `wmemmove`(), `wmemset`(), `wcscat`(), `wcschr`(), `wcscmp`(), `wcscpy`(), `wcscspn`(), `wcslen`(), `wcsncat`(), `wcsncmp`(), `wcsncpy`(), `wcspbrk`(), `wcsrchr`(), `wcsspn`() and `wcsstr`() functions were first introduced in ISO/IEC 9899/AMD1:1995 (“ISO C90, Amendment 1”) and conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (“ISO C99”). Part of them: `wmemmove`(), `wcscat`(), `wcscpy`(), `wcsncat`() and `wcsncpy`() were modified in ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (“ISO C99”) and gained the `restrict` keyword in parameter list, this new version is present in NetBSD.

The `wcswcs`() function conforms to X/Open Portability Guide Issue 4, Version 2 (“XPG4.2”), it is recommended to use technically equivalent `wcsstr`() for maximum portability.

The `wcsnlen`() function conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (“POSIX.1”).

The `wcslcat`() and `wcslcpy`() functions are NetBSD extensions.
