WCSSTR(3)                     Linux Programmer's Manual                     WCSSTR(3)

NAME         top

       wcsstr - locate a substring in a wide-character string

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <wchar.h>

       wchar_t *wcsstr(const wchar_t *haystack, const wchar_t *needle);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The wcsstr() function is the wide-character equivalent of the strstr(3)
       function.  It searches for the first occurrence of the wide-character string
       needle (without its terminating L'\0' character) as a substring in the wide-
       character string haystack.

RETURN VALUE         top

       The wcsstr() function returns a pointer to the first occurrence of needle in
       haystack.  It returns NULL if needle does not occur as a substring in
       haystack.

       Note the special case: If needle is the empty wide-character string, the
       return value is always haystack itself.
