33 .sp
34 .LP
35 These functions operate on Process Code strings terminated by \fBwchar_t\fR
36 null characters. During appending or copying, these routines do not check for
37 an overflow condition of the receiving string. In the following, \fIs\fR,
38 \fIs1\fR, and \fIs2\fR point to Process Code strings terminated by a
39 \fBwchar_t\fR null.
40 .SS "wscasecmp(\|), wsncasecmp(\|)"
41 .sp
42 .LP
43 The \fBwscasecmp()\fR function compares its arguments, ignoring case, and
44 returns an integer greater than, equal to, or less than 0, depending upon
45 whether \fIs1\fR is lexicographically greater than, equal to, or less than
46 \fIs2\fR. It makes the same comparison but compares at most \fIn\fR Process
47 Code characters. The four Extended Unix Code (EUC) codesets are ordered from
48 lowest to highest as 0, 2, 3, 1 when characters from different codesets are
49 compared.
50 .SS "wsdup(\|)"
51 .sp
52 .LP
53 The \fBwsdup()\fR function returns a pointer to a new Process Code string,
54 which is a duplicate of the string pointed to by \fIs\fR. The space for the new
55 string is obtained using \fBmalloc\fR(3C). If the new string cannot be created,
56 a null pointer is returned.
57 .SS "wscol(\|)"
58 .sp
59 .LP
60 The \fBwscol()\fR function returns the screen display width (in columns) of the
61 Process Code string \fIs\fR.

47 .Sh DESCRIPTION
48 These functions operate on wide-character strings. They are the historical
49 functions for performing operation on such strings, and have been superseded
50 by newer functions by various standards bodies. As such, their use is
51 deprecated and should be avoided in new applications.
52 .Lp
53 Wide-character strings
54 .Fa s1 ,
55 .Fa s2 ,
56 and
57 .Fa s
58 used in these functions are terminated by
59 null wide-characters. None of these functions check for overflow
60 conditions when appending to or copying strings.
61 .
62 .Ss Fn wscasecmp , wsncasecmp
63 The
64 .Fn wscasecmp
65 and
66 .Fn wsncasecmp
67 functions compares their arguments, ignoring differences in case according
68 to the current locale. Whereas
69 .Fn wscasecmp
70 continues comparing the strings until either a difference is found,
71 or the end of either string is reached, the
72 .Fn wcsncasecmp
73 function compares at most
74 .Fa n
75 wide-characters.
76 .Lp
77 The
78 .Fn wscasecmp
79 and
80 .Fn wsncasecmp
81 functions have been superseded by
82 .Xr wcscasecmp 3C
83 and
84 .Xr wcsncasecmp 3C ,
85 respectively, and behave identically to them.
86 .Lp
87 Note that for lexigraphic comparisions, the four Extended Unix Code (EUC)
88 character sets are ordered from lowest to highest.
89 .
90 .Ss Fn wscol
91 .
92 The
93 .Fn wscol
94 function returns the width in screen columns required to display the
95 wide-character string
96 .Fa s .
97 This function has been superseded by
98 .Xr wcswidth
99 and behaves similarily to it.
100 .
101 .Ss Fn wsdup
102 .
103 The
104 .Fn wsdup
105 returns a duplicate copy of the wide-character string
106 .Fa s .
107 This function has been superseded by
108 .Xr wcsdup 3C ,
109 and behaves identically to it.
110 .
111 .Ss Fn wslen
112 .
113 The
114 .Fn wslen
115 function returns the number of wide-characters in
116 .Fa s ,
117 excluding the terminating null wide-character code. This function has been
118 superseded by
119 .Xr wcslen 3C ,
120 and behaves identically to it.
