NAME
       wcslen - determine the length of a wide-character string

SYNOPSIS
       #include <wchar.h>

       size_t wcslen(const wchar_t *s);

DESCRIPTION
       The wcslen() function is the wide-character equivalent of the strlen(3) function.  It determines the length of the wide-character string pointed to by s, exclud‐
       ing the terminating null wide character (L'\0').

RETURN VALUE
       The wcslen() function returns the number of wide characters in s.

       POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008, C99.

NOTES
       In cases where the input buffer may not contain a terminating null wide character, wcsnlen(3) should be used instead.
