wcsncat(3) — Linux manual pages

Linux manual pages	Section 3

Name

wcsncat — concatenate two wide-character strings

Synopsis

        #include <wchar.h>

`wchar_t *wcsncat(`	wchar_t *`dest`,
	const wchar_t *`src`,
	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.
