       other words, it searches for the first occurrence in the wide-character
       string wcs of a wide-character  not  contained  in  the	wide-character
       string accept.

RETURN VALUE    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  wcsspn function returns the number of wide characters in the longest
 initial segment of wcs which consists entirely  of  wide-characters
       listed  in accept. In other words, it returns the position of the first
       occurrence in the wide-character string wcs  of	a  wide-character  not
       contained  in the wide-character string accept, or wcslen(wcs) if there
       is none.
