+.SH NAME
+wcsncpy \- copy part of a wide-character string
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+\fB#include <wchar.h>
+.br
+.sp
+wchar_t *wcsncpy(wchar_t *restrict\fP \fIws1\fP\fB, const wchar_t
+*restrict\fP \fIws2\fP\fB,
+.br
+\ \ \ \ \ \ size_t\fP \fIn\fP\fB);
+.br
+\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fIwcsncpy\fP() function shall copy not more than \fIn\fP wide-character
+codes (wide-character codes that follow a null
+wide-character code are not copied) from the array pointed to by \fIws2\fP
+to the array pointed to by \fIws1\fP. If copying takes
+place between objects that overlap, the behavior is undefined.
+.LP
+If the array pointed to by \fIws2\fP is a wide-character string that
+is shorter than \fIn\fP wide-character codes, null
+wide-character codes shall be appended to the copy in the array pointed
+to by \fIws1\fP, until \fIn\fP wide-character codes in
+all are written.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.LP
+The \fIwcsncpy\fP() function shall return \fIws1\fP; no return value
+is reserved to indicate an error.
+.SH ERRORS
+.LP
+No errors are defined.
+.LP
+\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.LP
+None.
+.SH APPLICATION USAGE
+.LP
+If there is no null wide-character code in the first \fIn\fP wide-character
+codes of the array pointed to by \fIws2\fP, the
+result is not null-terminated.
+.SH RATIONALE
+.LP
+None.
+.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
+.LP
+None.
