wcscpy(3)               Library Functions Manual               wcscpy(3)

NAME         top

       wcscpy - copy a wide-character string

LIBRARY         top

       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <wchar.h>

       wchar_t *wcscpy(wchar_t *restrict dest, const wchar_t *restrict src);

DESCRIPTION         top

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

       The strings may not overlap.

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

RETURN VALUE         top

       wcscpy() returns dest.
