 @deftypefun int strncmp (const char *@var{s1}, const char *@var{s2}, size_t @var{size})
 This function is the similar to @code{strcmp}, except that no more than
-@var{size} wide characters are compared.  In other words, if the two
-strings are the same in their first @var{size} wide characters, the
+@var{size} characters are compared.  In other words, if the two
+strings are the same in their first @var{size} characters, the
 return value is zero.
