The wcsstr () function shall locate the first occurrence in the wide-character string pointed to by ws1 of the sequence of wide characters (excluding the terminating null wide character) in the wide-character string pointed to by ws2.

Upon successful completion, wcsstr () shall return a pointer to the located wide-character string, or a null pointer if the wide-character string is not found.

If ws2 points to a wide-character string with zero length, the function shall return ws1.
