NAME
wcscpy — copy a
wide-character string
SYNOPSIS
#include
<wchar.h>
wchar_t *wcscpy(wchar_t *restrict ws1, const wchar_t *restrict ws2);
DESCRIPTION
[CX] 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 IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (“POSIX.1”) defers to the ISO C standard.
The wcscpy () function shall copy
the wide-character string pointed to by
ws2 (including the
terminating null wide-character code) into the array pointed to by
ws1. If copying takes place between objects that overlap,
the behavior is undefined.
RETURN VALUE
The wcscpy () function shall return
ws1; no return value is reserved to indicate an error.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.

CHANGE HISTORY

alignment with the ISO/IEC 9899:1999
(“ISO C99”) standard.
