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 L'\0' character, 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.
