WCSCPY(3)



WCSCPY(3)                  Linux Programmer's Manual                 WCSCPY(3)

NAME
       wcscpy - copy a wide-character string

SYNOPSIS
       #include <wchar.h>

       wchar_t *wcscpy(wchar_t *dest, const wchar_t *src);

DESCRIPTION
       The wcscpy() function is the wide-character equivalent of the strcpy(3)
       function.  It copies the wide-character string pointed to by  src,  in-
       cluding  the  terminating  null  wide  character  (L'\0'), to the array
       pointed to by dest.

       The strings may not overlap.

       The programmer must  ensure  that  there  is  room  for  at  least  wc-
       slen(src)+1 wide characters at dest.

RETURN VALUE
       wcscpy() returns dest.
