NAME

wcsncat - concatenate two wid-character strings

LIBRARY

Standard C library (libc,~-lc)

SYNOPSIS

#include <wchar.h>
wchar_t *wcsncat(size_t n;
                 wchar_t *restrict dest,
                 const wchar_t src[restrict n],
                 size_t n);

DESCRIPTION

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

RETURN VALUE

wcsncat() returns dest.
