💖 WCSPBRK(3POSIX) — the POSIX Programmer's Manual one 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the POSIX Programmer's Manual (WCSPBRK(3POSIX)), and before we even get into it, there's a lil heads-up situation:

🚨 PROLOG 🚨

This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

so like… read the Linux page too if you're actually on Linux, ok? the vibe may differ. or the whole function might just not exist there. no cap. 😭

✨ NAME ✨

wcspbrk — scan a wide-character string for a wide-character code

like, it's giving "find me the first wide char from this other string." iconic behavior honestly.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <wchar.h>

wchar_t *wcspbrk(const wchar_t *ws1, const wchar_t *ws2);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so first things first, the functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. If there's any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard — that's unintentional, bestie, nobody did that on purpose. This volume of POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard. periodt.

Now the actual tea ☕:

The wcspbrk() function shall locate the first occurrence in the wide-character string pointed to by ws1 of any wide-character code from the wide-character string pointed to by ws2.

so like — ws1 is the haystack, ws2 is the lil bag of needles, and wcspbrk() is out here finding the first haystack character that matches anything in the bag. 🧚 main character energy fr fr.

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

Upon successful completion, wcspbrk() shall return a pointer to the wide-character code — or a null pointer if no wide-character code from ws2 occurs in ws1.

so either you get a pointer, or you get NULL and a lil "she's not here" moment. 💀
