_mbsninc, _mbsninc_l, _strninc, _wcsninc

Advances a string pointer by n characters.

unsigned char *_mbsninc(
   const unsigned char *str,
   size_t count 
);
unsigned char *_mbsninc(
   const unsigned char *str,
   size_t count,
   _locale_t locale
);
char *_strninc(
   const char *str,
   size_t count 
);
wchar_t *_wcsninc(
   const wchar_t *str,
   size_t count 
);

Parameters

• str
  Source string.

• count
  Number of characters to increment a string pointer.

• locale
  Locale to use.

Return Value

Each of these routines returns a pointer to str after str has been incremented by count characters or NULL if the supplied pointer is NULL. If count is greater than or equal to the number of characters in str, the result is undefined.

Remarks

The _mbsninc function increments str by count multibyte characters. _mbsninc recognizes multibyte-character sequences according to the multibyte code page currently in use.

Generic-Text Routine Mappings

_strninc and _wcsninc are single-byte–character string and wide-character string versions of _mbsninc. _wcsninc and _strninc are provided only for this mapping and should not be used otherwise. For more information, see Using Generic-Text Mappings and Generic-Text Mappings.

_mbsninc_l is identical except that it uses the locale parameter passed in instead. For more information, see Locale.

Requirements
