NAME

6       wcscat - concatenate two wide-character strings
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <wchar.h>
10
11       wchar_t *wcscat(wchar_t *restrict dest, const wchar_t *restrict src);
12

DESCRIPTION

14       The wcscat() function is the wide-character equivalent of the strcat(3)
15       function.  It copies the wide-character string pointed to by  src,  in‐
16       cluding  the terminating null wide character (L'\0'), to the end of the
17       wide-character string pointed to by dest.
18
19       The strings may not overlap.
20
21       The programmer must  ensure  that  there  is  room  for  at  least  wc‐
22       slen(dest)+wcslen(src)+1 wide characters at dest.
23

RETURN VALUE

25       wcscat() returns dest.
