NAME

wmemcpy - copy an array of wid-characters  

LIBRARY

SYNOPSIS

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

 

DESCRIPTION

The wmemcpy() function is the wid-character equivalent of the memcpy(3) function. It copies n wide characters from the array starting at src to the array starting at dest. The arrays may not overlap; use wmemmove(3) to copy between overlapping arrays. The programmer must ensure that there is room for at least n wide characters at dest.  

RETURN VALUE

wmemcpy() returns dest.
