String Manipulation (Windows CE 5.0)
Developing an Application > Microsoft C Run-time Library for Windows CE > Run-time Routines by Category
String manipulation routines operate on null-terminated single-byte character and wide-character strings. Use the buffer-manipulation routines, described in Buffer Manipulation, to work with character arrays that do not end with a null character.
Generally, Windows CE supports wide-character versions of functions rather than other versions. This enables Windows CE to support Unicode while keeping the library compact.
