SDL_wcsnlen - Man Page
This works exactly like wcsnlen() but doesn't require access to a C runtime.
Synopsis
#include <SDL3/SDL_stdinc.h> size_t SDL_wcsnlen(const wchar_t *wstr, size_t maxlen);
Description
Counts up to a maximum of maxlen wchar_t values in wstr, excluding the null terminator.
Like SDL_strnlen only counts bytes and not codepoints in a UTF-8 string, this counts wchar_t values in a string, even if the string's encoding is of variable width, like UTF-16.
Also be aware that wchar_t is different sizes on different platforms (4 bytes on Linux, 2 on Windows, etc).
Also, maxlen is a count of wide characters, not bytes!
Function Parameters
- wstr
The null-terminated wide string to read. Must not be NULL.
- maxlen
The maximum amount of wide characters to count.
Return Value
Returns the length (in wide characters, excluding the null terminator) of wstr but never more than maxlen.
Thread Safety
It is safe to call this function from any thread.
Availability
This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
