NAME

6       wmemcpy - copy an array of wide-characters
7

LIBRARY

9       Standard C library (libc, -lc)
10

SYNOPSIS

12       #include <wchar.h>
13
14       wchar_t *wmemcpy(wchar_t dest[restrict .n],
15                        const wchar_t src[restrict .n],
16                        size_t n);
17

DESCRIPTION

19       The  wmemcpy()  function  is  the wide-character equivalent of the mem‐
20       cpy(3) function.  It copies n wide characters from the  array  starting
21       at src to the array starting at dest.
22
23       The arrays may not overlap; use wmemmove(3) to copy between overlapping
24       arrays.
25
26       The programmer must ensure that there is room for at least n wide char‐
27       acters at dest.
28

RETURN VALUE

30       wmemcpy() returns dest.
