Returns the length of the maximum initial segment of the wide string pointed to by dest, that consists of only the characters not found in wide string pointed to by src.

Parameters

Return value

The length of the maximum initial segment that contains only characters not found in the character string pointed to by src.

Example

#include <locale.h>
#include <wchar.h>
 
int main(void)
{
    wchar_t dest[] = L"白猫 黑狗 甲虫";
    /*                      └───┐   */
    const wchar_t *src = L"甲虫,黑狗";
 
    const size_t len = wcscspn(dest, src);
    dest[len] = L'\0'; /* terminates the segment to print it out */
 
    setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8");
    wprintf(L"The length of maximum initial segment is %td.\n"
            L"The segment is \"%ls\".\n", len, dest);
}

The length of maximum initial segment is 3.
The segment is "白猫 ".
