WCSNCPY(3) Linux Programmer's Manual WCSNCPY(3) NAME
wcsncpy - copy a fixed-size string of wide characters SYNOPSIS
#include <wchar.h> wchar_t *wcsncpy(wchar_t *dest, const wchar_t *src, size_t n); DESCRIPTION
The wcsncpy() function is the wide-character equivalent of the strncpy(3) function. It copies at most n wide characters from the wide- character string pointed to by src, including the terminating L' ' character, to the array pointed to by dest. Exactly n wide characters are written at dest. If the length wcslen(src) is smaller than n, the remaining wide characters in the array pointed to by dest are filled with L' ' characters. If the length wcslen(src) is greater or equal to n, the string pointed to by dest will not be L' ' terminated. The strings may not overlap. The programmer must ensure that there is room for at least n wide characters at dest. RETURN VALUE
wcsncpy() returns dest. CONFORMING TO
C99. SEE ALSO
