NAME
strlen, strnlen -- find length of string
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h>
size_t
strlen(const char *s);
size_t
strnlen(const char *s, size_t maxlen);
DESCRIPTION
The strlen() function computes the length of the string s. The strnlen() function attempts to compute
the length of s, but never scans beyond the first maxlen bytes of s.
RETURN VALUES
The strlen() function returns the number of characters that precede the terminating NUL character. The
strnlen() function returns either the same result as strlen() or maxlen, whichever is smaller.
SEE ALSO
string(3), wcslen(3), wcswidth(3)
STANDARDS
The strlen() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1990 (``ISO C90''). The strnlen() function conforms to
IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (``POSIX.1'').
