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
wcscat -- concatenate two wide-character strings
SYNOPSIS
#include <wchar.h>
wchar_t *wcscat(wchar_t *restrict ws1, const wchar_t *restrict ws2);
DESCRIPTION
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 wcscat() function shall append a copy of the wide-character string pointed to by ws2 (including the terminating null wide-character
code) 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. If copying takes place between objects that overlap, the behavior is undefined.
RETURN VALUE
The wcscat() 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
None.
RATIONALE
