WCSCPY(3)                                                               Linux Programmer's Manual                                                              WCSCPY(3)

NAME
       wcscpy - copy a wide-character string

SYNOPSIS
       #include <wchar.h>

       wchar_t *wcscpy(wchar_t *restrict dest, const wchar_t *restrict src);

DESCRIPTION
       The wcscpy() function is the wide-character equivalent of the strcpy(3) function.  It copies the wide-character string pointed to by src, including the terminat‐
       ing null wide character (L'\0'), to the array pointed to by dest.

       The strings may not overlap.

       The programmer must ensure that there is room for at least wcslen(src)+1 wide characters at dest.

RETURN VALUE
       wcscpy() returns dest.
