wmemchr

wchar_t *wmemchr( const wchar_t *ptr, wchar_t ch, size_t count );

Locates the first occurrence of wide character ch in the initial count wide characters of the wide character array or integer array of compatible type, pointed to by ptr.

If count is zero, the function returns a null pointer.

Parameters

Return value

Pointer to the location of the wide character, or a null pointer if no such character is found.

Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>
#include <locale.h>
 
int main(void)
{
    wchar_t str[] = L"诺不轻信，故人不负我\0诺不轻许，故我不负人。";
    size_t sz = sizeof str / sizeof *str;
 
    wchar_t target = L'许';
    wchar_t* result = wmemchr(str, target, sz);
 
    if (result) {
        setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8");
        printf("Found '%lc' at position %td\n",target, result - str);
    }
}

Found '许' at position 14
