See +.BR libsimple_enprintf (3) +for more information. +.PP +The +.BR libsimple_wcsndupa () +function is implemented as a macro and is a version +of the +.BR libsimple_wcsndup () +function that uses allocates the memory on the stack +rather than on the heap, causing the return pointer +to become invalid when the calling function returns. +It is only available when compling with GCC or Clang. + +.SH RETURN VALUE +Upon successful completion, the +.BR libsimple_wcsndupa (), +.BR libsimple_wcsndup (), +.BR libsimple_enwcsndup (), +and +.BR libsimple_ewcsndup () +functions return a non-null pointer, on failure the +.BR libsimple_wcsndup () +function returns +.B NULL +and set +.I errno +to indicate the error, and the +.BR libsimple_enwcsndup (), +and +.BR libsimple_ewcsndup () +functions exit the process. The +.BR libsimple_wcsndupa () +function cannot fail, however the kernel +can kill the thread, and possibly the process, with a +.B SIGSEGV +signal if the memory cannot be allocated. +.PP +The returned pointer should be deallocated when it +is no longer needed, except for the pointer returned +by the +.BR libsimple_wcsndupa () +function, it is automatically deallocated when the +calling function returns. + +.SH ERRORS +The +.BR libsimple_wcsndup () +function may fail for any reason specified for the +.BR malloc (3) +function. + +.SH ATTRIBUTES +For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see +.BR attributes (7). +.TS +allbox; +lb lb lb +l l l. +Interface Attribute Value +T{ +.BR libsimple_wcsndupa (), +.br +.BR libsimple_wcsndup (), +.br +.BR libsimple_enwcsndup (), +.br +.BR libsimple_ewcsndup (), +T} Thread safety MT-Safe +T{ +.BR libsimple_wcsndupa (), +.br +.BR libsimple_wcsndup (), +.br +.BR libsimple_enwcsndup (), +.br +.BR libsimple_ewcsndup (), +T} Async-signal safety AS-Safe +T{ +.BR libsimple_wcsndupa (), +.br +.BR libsimple_wcsndup (), +.br +.BR libsimple_enwcsndup (), +.br +.BR libsimple_ewcsndup (), +T} Async-cancel safety AC-Safe +.TE + +.SH EXAMPLES +None. + +.SH APPLICATION USAGE +None. + +.SH RATIONALE +None. + +.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS +None. + +.SH NOTES +None. + +.SH BUGS +None. + +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR libsimple_aligned_wcsndup (3), +.BR libsimple_enstrndup (3), +.BR libsimple_enstrdup (3), +.BR libsimple_memdup (3), +.BR libsimple_enwcsdup (3), +.BR libsimple_wmemdup (3), +.BR strndup (3), +.BR strdup (3), +.BR wcsdup (3) |
