<h4><a name="tag_03_844_03"></a>DESCRIPTION</h4>
<blockquote>
<div class="box"><sup>[<a href="javascript:open_code('CX')">CX</a>]</sup> <img src="../images/opt-start.gif" alt="[Option Start]"
border="0"> The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO&nbsp;C standard. Any conflict between the
requirements described here and the ISO&nbsp;C standard is unintentional. This volume of IEEE&nbsp;Std&nbsp;1003.1-2001 defers to
the ISO&nbsp;C standard. <img src="../images/opt-end.gif" alt="[Option End]" border="0"></div>
<p>A sequence of calls to <i>wcstok</i>() shall break the wide-character string pointed to by <i>ws1</i> into a sequence of tokens,
each of which shall be delimited by a wide-character code from the wide-character string pointed to by <i>ws2</i>. The <i>ptr</i>
argument points to a caller-provided <b>wchar_t</b> pointer into which the <i>wcstok</i>() function shall store information
necessary for it to continue scanning the same wide-character string.</p>
<p>The first call in the sequence has <i>ws1</i> as its first argument, and is followed by calls with a null pointer as their first
argument. The separator string pointed to by <i>ws2</i> may be different from call to call.</p>
<p>The first call in the sequence shall search the wide-character string pointed to by <i>ws1</i> for the first wide-character code
that is <i>not</i> contained in the current separator string pointed to by <i>ws2</i>. If no such wide-character code is found,
then there are no tokens in the wide-character string pointed to by <i>ws1</i> and <i>wcstok</i>() shall return a null pointer. If
such a wide-character code is found, it shall be the start of the first token.</p>
<p>The <i>wcstok</i>() function shall then search from there for a wide-character code that <i>is</i> contained in the current
separator string. If no such wide-character code is found, the current token extends to the end of the wide-character string
pointed to by <i>ws1</i>, and subsequent searches for a token shall return a null pointer. If such a wide-character code is found,
it shall be overwritten by a null wide character, which terminates the current token. The <i>wcstok</i>() function shall save a
pointer to the following wide-character code, from which the next search for a token shall start.</p>
<p>Each subsequent call, with a null pointer as the value of the first argument, shall start searching from the saved pointer and
behave as described above.</p>
<p>The implementation shall behave as if no function calls <i>wcstok</i>().</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_844_04"></a>RETURN VALUE</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>Upon successful completion, the <i>wcstok</i>() function shall return a pointer to the first wide-character code of a token.
Otherwise, if there is no token, <i>wcstok</i>() shall return a null pointer.</p>

<h4><a name="tag_03_844_12"></a>Issue 5</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>Aligned with ISO/IEC&nbsp;9899:1990/Amendment 1:1995 (E). Specifically, a third argument is added to the definition of
<i>wcstok</i>() in the SYNOPSIS.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_844_13"></a>Issue 6</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>The <i>wcstok</i>() prototype is updated for alignment with the ISO/IEC&nbsp;9899:1999 standard.</p>
