NAME

wcsrchr - wide-character string scanning operation  

SYNOPSIS

#include <wchar.h>

wchar_t *wcsrchr(const wchar_t *ws, wchar_t wc);
 

DESCRIPTION

The application shall ensure that the value of wc is a character representable as a type wchar_t and a wide-character code corresponding to a valid character in the current locale. The terminating null wide-character code shall be considered to be part of the wide-character string.  

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, wcsrchr() shall return a pointer to the wide-character code or a null pointer if wc does not occur in the wide-character string.
