NAME

       wcscpy - copy a wide-character string

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wchar.h>

       wchar_t *wcscpy(wchar_t *dest, const wchar_t *src);

DESCRIPTION

       The  wcscpy()  function  is the wide-character equivalent of the strcpy(3) function.  It copies the wide-
       character string pointed to by src, including the terminating null wide character (L'\0'), to  the  array
       pointed to by dest.

       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

       wcscpy() returns dest.
