 .Sh NAME
 .Nm wcsdup
 .Nd save a copy of a string
 .Sh LIBRARY
 .Lb libc
 .Sh SYNOPSIS
 .In wchar.h
 .Ft wchar_t *
 .Fn wcsdup "const wchar_t *str"
 .Sh DESCRIPTION
 The
 .Fn wcsdup
 function
 allocates sufficient memory for a copy
 of the wide character string
 .Fa str ,
 does the copy, and returns a pointer to it.
 The pointer may subsequently be used as an
 argument to the function
 .Xr free 3 .
 .Pp
 If insufficient memory is available, NULL is returned.
 .Sh EXAMPLES
 The following will point
 .Va p
 to an allocated area of memory containing the null-terminated string
 .Qq foobar :
 .Bd -literal -offset indent
 wchar_t *p;
 
 if (p = wcsdup(L"foobar"), p == NULL) {
 	fprintf(stderr, "Out of memory.\en");
 	exit(1);
 }
 .Ed
 .Sh ERRORS
 The
 .Fn wcsdup
 function may fail and set the external variable
 .Va errno
 for any of the errors specified for the library function
 .Xr malloc 3 .
 .Sh SEE ALSO
 .Xr malloc 3 ,
 .Xr free 3 ,
 .Xr strdup 3 ,
 .Sh HISTORY
 The
 .Fn wcsdup
 function first appeared in
 .Nx 4.0 .

 .Sh NAME
 .Nm wcscasecmp ,
 .Nm wcsncasecmp
 .Nd compare wide character strings, ignoring case
 .Sh LIBRARY
 .Lb libc
 .Sh SYNOPSIS
 .In wchar.h
 .Ft int
 .Fn wcscasecmp "const wchar_t *s1" "const wchar_t *s2"
 .Ft int
 .Fn wcsncasecmp "const wchar_t *s1" "const wchar_t *s2" "size_t len"
 .Sh DESCRIPTION
 The
 .Fn wcscasecmp
 and
 .Fn wcsncasecmp
 functions
 compare the null-terminated strings
 .Fa s1
 and
 .Fa s2
 and return an integer greater than, equal to, or less than 0,
 according to whether
 .Fa s1
 is lexicographically greater than, equal to, or less than
 .Fa s2
 after translation of each corresponding character to lower-case.
 The strings themselves are not modified.
 .Pp
 The
 .Fn wcsncasecmp
 compares at most
 .Fa len
 characters.
 .Sh SEE ALSO
 .Xr wcscmp 3 ,
 .Sh HISTORY
 The
 .Fn wcscasecmp
 and
 .Fn wcsncasecmp
 functions first appeared in
 .Nx 4.0
 .Sh NOTES
 If
 .Fa len
 is zero
 .Fn wcsncasecmp
 returns always 0.

 P.S.
 from man strncmp
 NOTES
      If len is zero strncmp() returns always 0.
 but 
  if (n == 0)
    return (0);
 is placed AFTER asserts.
 
 P.P.S.
 If you'll add
  if (n == 0)
    return (0);
  in wcsncasecmp before asserts you can add it too.
