.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
These functions operate on Process Code strings terminated by \fBwchar_t\fR
null characters.  During appending or copying, these routines do not check for
an overflow condition of the receiving string. In the following, \fIs\fR,
\fIs1\fR, and \fIs2\fR point to Process Code strings terminated by a
\fBwchar_t\fR null.
.SS "wscasecmp(\|), wsncasecmp(\|)"
.sp
.LP
The \fBwscasecmp()\fR function compares its arguments, ignoring case, and
returns an integer greater than, equal to, or less than 0, depending upon
whether \fIs1\fR is lexicographically greater than, equal to, or less than
\fIs2\fR. It makes the same comparison but compares at most \fIn\fR Process
Code characters. The four Extended Unix Code (EUC) codesets are ordered from
lowest to highest as 0, 2, 3, 1 when characters from different codesets are
compared.
.SS "wsdup(\|)"
.sp
.LP
The \fBwsdup()\fR function returns a pointer to a new Process Code string,
which is a duplicate of the string pointed to by \fIs\fR. The space for the new
string is obtained using \fBmalloc\fR(3C). If the new string cannot be created,
a null pointer is returned.
.SS "wscol(\|)"
.sp
.LP
The \fBwscol()\fR function returns the screen display width (in columns) of the
Process Code string \fIs\fR.
