(since C95)

# Parameters

• dest: pointer to the null-terminated wide string to be analyzed
• src: pointer to the null-terminated wide string that contains the characters to search for

# 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);
