SYNOPSIS

       #define _GNU_SOURCE

       wchar_t *wcsdup(const wchar_t *s);

DESCRIPTION

       The wcsdup() function is the wide-character equivalent of the strdup(3)

       by s.

       and should be freed with free(3).

RETURN VALUE

       The  wcsdup()  function  returns  a  pointer  to the new wide-character
       string, or NULL if sufficient memory was not available.

ERRORS

       ENOMEM Insufficient memory available to allocate duplicate string.
