NAME¶

SDL_wcsstr - Search a wide string for the first instance of a specific substring.

HEADER FILE¶

Defined in SDL3/SDL_stdinc.h

SYNOPSIS¶

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

wchar_t * SDL_wcsstr(const wchar_t *haystack, const wchar_t *needle);

DESCRIPTION¶

The search ends once it finds the requested substring, or a null terminator byte to end the string.

Note that this looks for strings of _wide characters_, not _codepoints_, so it's legal to search for malformed and incomplete UTF-16 sequences.

FUNCTION PARAMETERS¶

haystack

the wide string to search. Must not be NULL.

needle

the wide string to search for. Must not be NULL.

RETURN VALUE¶

Returns a pointer to the first instance of needle in the string, or NULL if not found.

THREAD SAFETY¶

It is safe to call this function from any thread.

AVAILABILITY¶

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
