+<h3 id="Note"> Note</h3> <p>This function is destructive: it writes the <code>L'\0'</code> characters in the elements of the string <code>str</code>. In particular, a wide string literal cannot be used as the first argument of <code>wcstok</code>.</p>
+<p>Unlike <code><a href="../byte/strtok" title="c/string/byte/strtok">strtok</a></code>, <code>wcstok</code> does not update static storage: it stores the parser state in the user-provided location.</p>
+<p>Unlike most other tokenizers, the delimiters in <code>wcstok</code> can be different for each subsequent token, and can even depend on the contents of the previous tokens.</p>
