NAME
wcsdup - duplicate a wide-character string SYNOPSIS
#include <wchar.h> wchar_t *wcsdup(const wchar_t *s); Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)): wcsdup(): Since glibc 2.10: _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L Before glibc 2.10: _GNU_SOURCE DESCRIPTION
The wcsdup() function is the wide-character equivalent of the strdup(3) function. It allocates and returns a new wide-character string whose initial contents is a duplicate of the wide-character string pointed to by s. Memory for the new wide-character string is obtained with malloc(3), and should be freed with free(3). RETURN VALUE
On success, wcsdup() returns a pointer to the new wide-character string. On error, it returns NULL, with errno set to indicate the cause of the error. ERRORS
ENOMEM Insufficient memory available to allocate duplicate string. ATTRIBUTES

NAME
strdup, strndup, strdupa, strndupa - duplicate a string SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h> char *strdup(const char *s); char *strndup(const char *s, size_t n); char *strdupa(const char *s); char *strndupa(const char *s, size_t n); Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)): strdup(): _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 || /* Since glibc 2.12: */ _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L || /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE strndup(): Since glibc 2.10: _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L Before glibc 2.10: _GNU_SOURCE strdupa(), strndupa(): _GNU_SOURCE DESCRIPTION
The strdup() function returns a pointer to a new string which is a duplicate of the string s. Memory for the new string is obtained with malloc(3), and can be freed with free(3). The strndup() function is similar, but copies at most n bytes. If s is longer than n, only n bytes are copied, and a terminating null byte ('') is added. strdupa() and strndupa() are similar, but use alloca(3) to allocate the buffer. They are available only when using the GNU GCC suite, and suffer from the same limitations described in alloca(3). RETURN VALUE
On success, the strdup() function returns a pointer to the duplicated string. It returns NULL if insufficient memory was available, with errno set to indicate the cause of the error. ERRORS
ENOMEM Insufficient memory available to allocate duplicate string. ATTRIBUTES

strdup() conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD, POSIX.1-2001. strndup() conforms to POSIX.1-2008. strdupa() and strndupa() are GNU extensions. SEE ALSO
