WCSNCAT(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual WCSNCAT(3P)
PROLOG
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
wcsncat -- concatenate a wide-character string with part of another
SYNOPSIS
#include <wchar.h>
wchar_t *wcsncat(wchar_t *restrict ws1, const wchar_t *restrict ws2,
size_t n);
DESCRIPTION
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.1-2008
defers to the ISO C standard.
The wcsncat() function shall append not more than n wide-character
codes (a null wide-character code and wide-character codes that follow
it are not appended) from the array pointed to by ws2 to the end of the
wide-character string pointed to by ws1. The initial wide-character
code of ws2 shall overwrite the null wide-character code at the end of
ws1. A terminating null wide-character code shall always be appended
to the result. If copying takes place between objects that overlap, the
behavior is undefined.
RETURN VALUE
The wcsncat() function shall return ws1; no return value is reserved to
indicate an error.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
