11 wchar_t *wcsstr(const wchar_t *haystack, const wchar_t *needle);

14 The wcsstr() function is the wide-character equivalent of the strstr(3)
15 function. It searches for the first occurrence of the wide-character
16 string needle (without its terminating null wide character (L'\0')) as
17 a substring in the wide-character string haystack.
18
20 The wcsstr() function returns a pointer to the first occurrence of nee‐
21 dle in haystack. It returns NULL if needle does not occur as a sub‐
22 string in haystack.
23
24 Note the special case: If needle is the empty wide-character string,
25 the return value is always haystack itself.
