NAME

wcscat - concatenate two wid-character strings

LIBRARY

Standard C library (libc,~-lc)

SYNOPSIS

#include <wchar.h>
wchar_t *wcscat(wchar_t *restrict dest, const wchar_t *restrict src);

DESCRIPTION

The wcscat() function is the wid-character equivalent of the strcat(3) function. It copies the wid-character string pointed to by src, including the terminating null wide character (L[aq][rs]0[aq]), to the end of the wid-character string pointed to by dest. The strings may not overlap. The programmer must ensure that there is room for at least wcslen(dest)+wcslen(src)+1 wide characters at dest.

RETURN VALUE

wcscat() returns dest.
