wcsdup - duplicate a wide-character string

  #include <wchar.h>

  wchar_t *wcsdup(const wchar_t *s);

Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see *feature_test_macros*(7)):

*wcsdup*():

      Since glibc 2.10:
          _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L
      Before glibc 2.10:
          _GNU_SOURCE

The *wcsdup*() function is the wide-character equivalent of the *strdup*(3) function. It allocates and returns a new wide-character string whose initial contents is a duplicate of the wide-character string pointed to by s.

Memory for the new wide-character string is obtained with *malloc*(3), and should be freed with *free*(3).

On success, *wcsdup*() returns a pointer to the new wide-character string. On error, it returns NULL, with errno set to indicate the error.

ENOMEM

Insufficient memory available to allocate duplicate string.

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

POSIX.1-2008. This function is not specified in POSIX.1-2001, and is not widely available on other systems.

*strdup*(3), *wcscpy*(3)
