NAME

     wcscat - concatenate two wide-character strings

SYNOPSIS

     #include <wchar.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

     The wcscat() function is the wide-character equivalent of the strcat(3)
     function.  It copies the  wide-character  string  pointed  to  by  src,
     including  the  terminating  null wide character (L'\0'), to the end of
     the wide-character string pointed to by dest.

     The strings may not overlap.

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

RETURN VALUE

     wcscat() returns dest.
