wcscpy - copy a wide-character string

  #include <wchar.h>

  wchar_t *wcscpy(wchar_t *restrict dest",constwchar_t*restrict"src);

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.

*wcscpy*() returns dest.

For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see *attributes*(7).
