NAME         top

       wcscpy - copy a wide-character string

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <wchar.h>

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

DESCRIPTION         top

       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 terminating L'\0' character, 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         top

       wcscpy() returns dest.

CONFORMING TO         top
