NAME
       wcsncpy - copy a fixed-size string of wide characters


SYNOPSIS
       #include <wchar.h>

       wchar_t *wcsncpy(wchar_t *dest, const wchar_t *src, size_t n);


DESCRIPTION
       The  wcsncpy() function is the wide-character equivalent of the strncpy(3) function.  It copies at most n
       wide characters from the wide-character string pointed to by src, including  the  terminating  null  wide
       character  (L'\0'),  to the array pointed to by dest.  Exactly n wide characters are written at dest.  If
       the length wcslen(src) is smaller than n, the remaining wide characters in the array pointed to  by  dest
       are  filled  with  null  wide characters.  If the length wcslen(src) is greater or equal to n, the string
       pointed to by dest will not be terminated by a null wide character.

       The strings may not overlap.

       The programmer must ensure that there is room for at least n wide characters at dest.


RETURN VALUE
       wcsncpy() returns dest.


CONFORMING TO
       C99.
