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

NAME

     wcpcpy - copy a wide-character string, returning a pointer to its end

SYNOPSIS

     #include <wchar.h>

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

 Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

     wcpcpy():
         Since glibc 2.10:
             _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L
         Before glibc 2.10:
             _GNU_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION

     The wcpcpy() function is the wide-character equivalent of the stpcpy(3)
     function.  It copies the  wide-character  string  pointed  to  by  src,
     including  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
     wcslen(src)+1 wide characters at dest.

RETURN VALUE

     wcpcpy()  returns  a  pointer  to  the end of the wide-character string
     dest, that is, a pointer to the terminating null wide character.
