NAME

     wmemcpy - copy an array of wide-characters

SYNOPSIS

     #include <wchar.h>

     wchar_t *wmemcpy(wchar_t *dest, const wchar_t *src, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION

     The  wmemcpy()  function  is  the wide-character equivalent of the mem-
     cpy(3) function.  It copies n wide characters from the  array  starting
     at src to the array starting at dest.

     The arrays may not overlap; use wmemmove(3) to copy between overlapping
     arrays.

     The programmer must ensure that there is room for at least n wide char-
     acters at dest.

RETURN VALUE

     wmemcpy() returns dest.
