       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.

       For _w_c_s_l_e_n(): 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.

       The _w_c_s_l_e_n() function shall compute the number of wide-character codes
       in the wide-character string to which _w_s points, not including the
       terminating null wide-character code.

       The _w_c_s_n_l_e_n() function shall compute the smaller of the number of wide
       characters in the array to which _w_s points, not including any
       terminating null wide-character code, and the value of _m_a_x_l_e_n.  The
       _w_c_s_n_l_e_n() function shall never examine more than the first _m_a_x_l_e_n
       characters of the wide-character array pointed to by _w_s.

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
       The _w_c_s_l_e_n() function shall return the length of _w_s.

       The _w_c_s_n_l_e_n() function shall return the number of wide characters
       preceding the first null wide-character code in the array to which _w_s
       points, if _w_s contains a null wide-character code within the first
       _m_a_x_l_e_n wide characters; otherwise, it shall return _m_a_x_l_e_n.

       No return values are reserved to indicate an error.
