wmemcpy(3) Library Functions Manualwmemcpy(3)wmemcpy - copy an array of wide-characters
Standard C library (libc,-lc)
#include <wchar.h>wchar_t *wmemcpy(size_t n;wchar_tdest[restrictn],const wchar_tsrc[restrictn],size_tn);
Thewmemcpy() function is the wide-character equivalent of thememcpy(3) function. It copiesn wide characters from the array starting atsrc to the array starting atdest. The arrays may not overlap; usewmemmove(3) to copy between overlapping arrays. The programmer must ensure that there is room for at leastn wide characters atdest.
wmemcpy() returnsdest.
