PROLOG

       This  manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond-
       ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

       wcpcpy, wcscpy -- copy a wide-character string, returning a pointer to its end

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wchar.h>

       wchar_t *wcpcpy(wchar_t *restrict ws1, const wchar_t *restrict ws2);
       wchar_t *wcscpy(wchar_t *restrict ws1, const wchar_t *restrict ws2);

DESCRIPTION

       For wcscpy(): The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the  requirements
       described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2008 defers to the ISO C standard.

       The  wcpcpy()  and wcscpy() functions shall copy the wide-character string pointed to by ws2 (including the terminating null wide-character
       code) into the array pointed to by ws1.

       The application shall ensure that there is room for at least wcslen(ws2)+1 wide characters in the ws1 array,  and  that	the  ws2  and  ws1
       arrays do not overlap.

       If copying takes place between objects that overlap, the behavior is undefined.

RETURN VALUE

       The wcpcpy() function shall return a pointer to the terminating null wide-character code copied into the ws1 buffer.

       The wcscpy() function shall return ws1.

       No return values are reserved to indicate an error.
