25 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
c13182ef MK |
26 | The \fBwcpncpy\fP() function is the wide-character equivalent |
27 | of the \fBstpncpy\fP() function. | |
28 | It copies at most \fIn\fP wide characters from the wide-character | |
fea681da | 29 | string pointed to by \fIsrc\fP, including the terminating L'\\0' character, |
c13182ef MK |
30 | to the array pointed to by \fIdest\fP. |
31 | Exactly \fIn\fP wide characters are | |
32 | written at \fIdest\fP. | |
33 | If the length \fIwcslen(src)\fP is smaller than \fIn\fP, | |
34 | the remaining wide characters in the array pointed to | |
35 | by \fIdest\fP are filled with L'\\0' characters. | |
36 | If the length \fIwcslen(src)\fP is greater or equal | |
37 | to \fIn\fP, the string pointed to by \fIdest\fP will | |
38 | not be L'\\0' terminated. | |

39 | .PP |
40 | The strings may not overlap. | |
41 | .PP | |
42 | The programmer must ensure that there is room for at least \fIn\fP wide | |
43 | characters at \fIdest\fP. | |
44 | .SH "RETURN VALUE" | |
e511ffb6 | 45 | \fBwcpncpy\fP() returns a pointer to the last wide character written, i.e. |
c65433e6 | 46 | \fIdest + n \- 1\fP. |
