wcsncat(3)		    Library Functions Manual		      wcsncat(3)

NAME
     wcsncat - concatenate two wide-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 wide-character equivalent of the strncat(3)
     function.	It copies at most n  wide  characters  from  the  wide-character
     string pointed to by src to the end of the wide-character string pointed to
     by dest, and adds a terminating null wide character (L'\0').

     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.
