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 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
       wcsncpy returns dest.
