strlen, strnlen_s

Defined in header <string.h>
size_t strlen( const char *str );
-
(1)
size_t strnlen_s( const char *str, size_t strsz );
-
(2) (since C11)
-1) Returns the length of the given null-terminated byte string, that is, the number of characters in a character array whose first element is pointed to by str up to and not including the first null character.
- The behavior is undefined if str is not a pointer to a null-terminated byte string.
-2) Same as (1), except that the function returns zero if str is a null pointer and returns strsz if the null character was not found in the first strsz bytes of str.
- The behavior is undefined if both str points to a character array which lacks the null character and the size of that character array < strsz; in other words, an erroneous value of strsz does not expose the impending buffer overflow. As with all bounds-checked functions, strnlen_s only guaranteed to be available if __STDC_LIB_EXT1__ is defined by the implementation and if the user defines __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT1__ to the integer constant 1 before including <string.h>.

Parameters

- - -
str - pointer to the null-terminated byte string to be examined
strsz - maximum number of characters to examine

Return value

-1) The length of the null-terminated byte string str.
-2) The length of the null-terminated byte string str on success, zero if str is a null pointer, strsz if the null character was not found.

Notes

strnlen_s and wcsnlen_s are the only bounds-checked functions that do not invoke the runtime constraints handler. They are pure utility functions used to provide limited support for non-null terminated strings.

Example

#define __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT1__ 1
-#include <string.h>
-#include <stdio.h>
- 
-int main(void)
-{
-    const char str[] = "How many characters does this string contain?";
- 
-    printf("without null character: %zu\n", strlen(str));
-    printf("with null character:    %zu\n", sizeof str);
- 
-#ifdef __STDC_LIB_EXT1__
-    printf("without null character: %zu\n", strnlen_s(str, sizeof str));
-#endif
-}

Possible output:

-
without null character: 45
-with null character:    46
-without null character: 45
