NAME

wcsncat - concatenate two wide-character strings

SYNOPSIS

  #include <wchar.h>

  wchar_t *wcsncat(wchar_t *restrict dest",constwchar_t*restrict"src,
   size_t n);

DESCRIPTION

The *wcsncat*() function is the wide-character equivalent of the *strncat*(3) function. It copies at most n wide characters from the wide-character string pointed to by src to the end of the wide-character string pointed to by dest, and adds a terminating null wide character (L’\0’).

The strings may not overlap.

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

RETURN VALUE

*wcsncat*() returns dest.
