wmemcpy(3) Library Functions Manual wmemcpy(3) NAME wmemcpy - copy an array of wide-characters LIBRARY Standard C library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS #include 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 wide-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 ar- rays. The programmer must ensure that there is room for at least n wide charac- ters at dest. RETURN VALUE wmemcpy() returns dest.
