NAME
       wstring: wscat, wsncat, wscmp, wsncmp, wscpy, wsncpy, wslen, wschr,
       wsrchr, wspbrk, wsspn, wscspn, wstok, wstostr, strtows -  wchar_t
       string operations and type transformation

SYNOPSIS
       #include <widec.h>
       wchar_t *wscat(wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2);
       wchar_t *wsncat(wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2, int n);
       int wscmp(const wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2);
       int wsncmp(const wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2, int n);
       wchar_t *wscpy(wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2);
       wchar_t *wsncpy(wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2, int n);
       int wslen(const wchar_t *s);
       wchar_t *wschr(const wchar_t *s, int c);
       wchar_t *wsrchr(const wchar_t *s, int c);
       wchar_t *wspbrk(const wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2);
       int wsspn(const wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2);
       int wscspn(const wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2);
       wchar_t *wstok(wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2);
       char *wstostr(char *s1, const wchar_t *s2);
       wchar_t *strtows(wchar_t *s1, const char *s2);

DESCRIPTION
       The arguments s1, s2, and s point to wchar_t strings (that is, arrays
       of wchar_t characters terminated by a wchar_t null character).  The
       functions wscat, wsncat, wscpy, and wsncpy all modify s1.  These
       functions do not check for an overflow condition of the array pointed
       to by s1.

       wscat appends a copy of the wchar_t string s2 to the end of the
       wchar_t string s1.  wsncat appends at most n wchar_t characters.
       Each function returns s1.

       wscmp compares its arguments and returns an integer less than, equal
       to, or greater than 0, depending on whether s1 is less than, equal
       to, or greater than s2.  wsncmp makes the same comparison but looks
       at most at n wchar_t characters.

       wscpy copies wchar_t string s2 to s1, stopping after the wchar_t null
       character has been copied.  wsncpy copies exactly n wchar_t
       characters, truncating s2 or adding wchar_t null characters to s1, if
       necessary.  The result will not be wchar_t null-terminated if the
       length of s2 is n or more.  Each function returns s1.

       wslen returns the number of wchar_t characters in s, not including
       the terminating wchar_t null character.

       wschr and wsrchr return a pointer to the first and last occurrence,
       respectively, of wchar_t character c in wchar_t string s, or a null
       pointer, if c does not occur in the string.  The wchar_t null
       character terminating a string is considered to be part of the
       string.

       wspbrk returns a pointer to the first occurrence in wchar_t string s1
       of any wchar_t character from wchar_t string s2, or a null pointer if
       there is no wchar_t character from s2 in s1.

       wsspn returns the length of the initial segment of wchar_t string s1,
       which consists entirely of wchar_t characters from wchar_t string s2.
       wscspn returns the length of the initial segment of wchar_t string
       s1, which does not consist entirely of wchar_t characters from
       wchar_t string s2.

       wstok treats the wchar_t string s1 as a sequence of zero or more text
       tokens, separated by spans of one or more wchar_t characters from the
       separator wchar_t string s2.  The first call (with the pointer s1
       specified) returns a pointer to the first wchar_t character of the
       first token, and writes a wchar_t null character into s1 immediately
       following the returned token.  The function keeps track of its
       position in the wchar_t string between separate calls, so that
       subsequent calls (which must be made with the first argument a null
       pointer) will progress through the wchar_t string s1 immediately
       following that token.  Similarly, subsequent calls will progress
       through the wchar_t string s1 until no tokens remain.  The wchar_t
       separator string s2 may be different from call to call.  A null
       pointer is returned when no token remains in s1.

       wstostr transforms wchar_t characters in wchar_t string s2 into EUC,
       and transfers them to character string s1, stopping after the wchar_t
       null character has been processed.

       strtows transforms EUC in character string s2 into wchar_t
       characters, and transfers those to wchar_t string s1, stopping after
       the null character has been processed.

   Errors
       On success, wstostr and strtows return s1.  If an illegal byte
       sequence is detected, a null pointer is returned and errno is set to
       EILSEQ.

NOTICES
       Use the equivalent wcs* functions as documented in section 3C.
