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(3)
function.
It copies at most
n
wide characters from the wide-character
string pointed to by
src,
including the terminating null wide character (L'\0'),
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 null wide characters.
If the length wcslen(src) is greater than or equal
to
n,
the string pointed to by
dest
will not be terminated by a null wide character.
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.
