DESCRIPTION

The strings may not overlap.

The programmer must ensure that there is room for at least wcslen(src)+1 wide characters at dest.

RETURN VALUE

wcpcpy() returns a pointer to the end of the wide-character string dest, that is, a pointer to the terminating L'\0' character.

CONFORMING TO

This function is a GNU extension.
