DESCRIPTION

The *wcpcpy*() function is the wide-character equivalent of the *stpcpy*(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

*wcpcpy*() returns a pointer to the end of the wide-character string dest, that is, a pointer to the terminating null wide character.
