NAME

6       wcscpy - copy a wide-character string
7

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

14       The wcscpy() function is the wide-character equivalent of the strcpy(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 array
17       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(src)+1 wide characters at dest.
23

RETURN VALUE

25       wcscpy() returns dest.
