+.. cfunction:: wchar_t* PyUnicode_AsWideCharString(PyUnicodeObject *unicode, Py_ssize_t *size)
+
+   Convert the Unicode object to a wide character string. The output string
+   always ends with a nul character. If *size* is not *NULL*, write the number
+   of wide characters (including the nul character) into *\*size*.
+

+   to free it) on success. On error, returns *NULL*, *\*size* is undefined and
+   raises a :exc:`MemoryError`.
