PROLOG         top

       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The
       Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
       or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       wmemcpy — copy wide characters in memory

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <wchar.h>

       wchar_t *wmemcpy(wchar_t *restrict ws1, const wchar_t *restrict ws2,
           size_t n);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned
       with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements
       described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This
       volume of POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.

       The wmemcpy() function shall copy n wide characters from the
       object pointed to by ws2 to the object pointed to by ws1.  This
       function shall not be affected by locale and all wchar_t values
       shall be treated identically. The null wide character and wchar_t
       values not corresponding to valid characters shall not be treated
       specially.

       If n is zero, the application shall ensure that ws1 and ws2 are
       valid pointers, and the function shall copy zero wide characters.

RETURN VALUE         top

       The wmemcpy() function shall return the value of ws1.
