WCSCPY(3)                 Linux Programmer's Manual                WCSCPY(3)

NAME top

       wcscpy - copy a wide-character string

SYNOPSIS top

       #include <wchar.h>

       wchar_t *wcscpy(wchar_t *dest, const wchar_t *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.
