NAME

6       wcsncpy - copy a fixed-size string of wide characters
7

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

14       The   wcsncpy()  function  is  the  wide-character  equivalent  of  the
15       strncpy() function.  It copies at most n wide characters from the wide-
16       character  string  pointed  to  by src, including the terminating L'\0'
17       character, to the array pointed to by dest. Exactly n  wide  characters
18       are  written  at dest. If the length wcslen(src) is smaller than n, the
19       remaining wide characters in the array pointed to by  dest  are  filled
20       with L'\0' characters. If the length wcslen(src) is greater or equal to
21       n, the string pointed to by dest will not be L'\0' terminated.
22
23       The strings may not overlap.
24
25       The programmer must ensure that there is room for at least n wide char‐
26       acters at dest.

RETURN VALUE

29       wcsncpy() returns dest.
