NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       wcsncpy - copy a fixed-size string of wide characters

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <wchar.h>

       wchar_t *wcsncpy (wchar_t *dest, const wchar_t *src, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  wcsncpy  function  is the wide-character equivalent of the strncpy
       function. It copies at most n wide characters from  the	wide-character
       string pointed to by src, including the terminating L'\0' 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'\0'  characters.
	If the length wcslen(src) is greater or equal to n, the string
       pointed to by dest will not be L'\0' terminated.

       The strings may not overlap.

       The programmer must ensure that there is room for at least n wide characters
 at dest.

RETURN VALUE    [Toc]    [Back]

       wcsncpy returns dest.
