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

       wmemchr — find a wide character in memory

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wchar.h>

       wchar_t *wmemchr(const wchar_t *ws, wchar_t wc, size_t n);

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  wmemchr()  function  shall locate the first occurrence of wc in the initial n wide characters of the
       object pointed to by ws.  This function shall not be affected by locale and all wchar_t values  shall  be
       treated  identically.  The  null  wide character and wchar_t values not corresponding to valid characters
       shall not be treated specially.

       If n is zero, the application shall ensure that ws is a valid pointer and the function behaves as  if  no
       valid occurrence of wc is found.

RETURN VALUE

       The  wmemchr()  function  shall  return a pointer to the located wide character, or a null pointer if the
       wide character does not occur in the object.
