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

       character (L'\0'), 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.

ATTRIBUTES
