WCPNCPY(Y)          Linux Programmer's Manual          WCPNCPY(Y)



NAME
       wcpncpy  -  copy  a  fixed-size string of wide characters,
       returning a pointer to its end

SYNOPSIS
       #include <wchar.h>

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

DESCRIPTION
       The wcpncpy function is the wide-character  equivalent  of
       the  stpncpy function. It copies at most n wide characters
       from the wide-character string pointed to by src,  includ-
       ing  the terminating L'\0' character, to the array pointed
       to by dest. Exactly n wide characters are written at dest.
       If the length wcslen(n) 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(n)  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
       wcpncpy returns a pointer to the last wide character writ-
       ten, i.e.  dest + n - 1.

CONFORMING TO
       This function is a GNU extension.
