PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME
wcsstr — find a wide-character substring

SYNOPSIS

#include <wchar.h>

wchar_t *wcsstr(const wchar_t *restrict ws1,
    const wchar_t *restrict 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.

The wcsstr() function shall locate the first occurrence in the wide-character string pointed to by ws1 of the sequence of wide characters (excluding the terminating null wide character) in the wide-character string pointed to by ws2.

RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, wcsstr() shall return a pointer to the located wide-character string, or a null pointer if the wide-character string is not found.

If ws2 points to a wide-character string with zero length, the function shall return ws1.
