WCSNCPY(3P)						     POSIX Programmer's Manual						       WCSNCPY(3P)

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

       wcsncpy - copy part of a wide-character string

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wchar.h>

       wchar_t *wcsncpy(wchar_t *restrict ws1, const wchar_t *restrict ws2,
	      size_t n);

DESCRIPTION

       The wcsncpy() function shall copy not more than n wide-character codes (wide-character codes that follow a null wide-character code are not
       copied)	from the array pointed to by ws2 to the array pointed to by ws1. If copying takes place between objects that overlap, the behavior
       is undefined.

       If the array pointed to by ws2 is a wide-character string that is shorter than n wide-character codes, null wide-character codes  shall	be
       appended to the copy in the array pointed to by ws1, until n wide-character codes in all are written.

RETURN VALUE

       The wcsncpy() function shall return ws1; no return value is reserved to indicate an error.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

       If  there  is no null wide-character code in the first n wide-character codes of the array pointed to by ws2, the result is not null-termi-
       nated.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.

NAME

       wcsncat - concatenate a wide-character string with part of another

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wchar.h>

       wchar_t *wcsncat(wchar_t *restrict ws1, const wchar_t *restrict ws2,
	      size_t n);

DESCRIPTION

       The wcsncat() function shall append not more than n wide-character codes (a null wide-character code and wide-character codes  that  follow
       it are not appended) from the array pointed to by ws2 to the end of the wide-character string pointed to by ws1. The initial wide-character
       code of ws2 shall overwrite the null wide-character code at the end of ws1. A terminating null wide-character code shall always be appended
       to the result. If copying takes place between objects that overlap, the behavior is undefined.

RETURN VALUE

       The wcsncat() function shall return ws1; no return value is reserved to indicate an error.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.

       None.
