37.Sh DESCRIPTION
38The
39.Fn wcpcpy
40and
41.Fn wcpncpy
42functions copy the wide-character string pointed to by
43.Fa ws2
44into the location pointed to by
45.Fa ws1 .
46They stop copying after a null wide-character is copied, or in the case
47of
48.Fn wcpncpy ,
49after
50.Fa n
51wide-characters have been copied.
52If
53.Fa ws2
54contains fewer than
55.Fa n
56wide-characters, then the
57.Fn wcpncpy
58function pads wide-characters to the end of the destination
59.Fa ws1
60until exactly
61.Fa n
62wide-characters have been written.
63.Lp
64In the case of
65.Fn wcpncpy
66a terminating null wide-character will
67.Em not
68be written if the length of
69.Fa ws2
70exceeds
71.Fa n .
72.Lp
73If
74.Fa ws1
75and
76.Fa ws2
77overlap, the result is undefined.
78.Lp
79The
80.Fn wcpcpy
81and
82.Fn wcpncpy
83functions are the wide-character equivalents of
84.Fn stpcpy
85and
86.Fn stpncpy ,
87respectively.
88.Sh RETURN VALUES
89The
90.Fn wcpcpy
91and
92.Fn wcpncpy
93functions return a pointer to the last wide-character written.
94In the case of
95.Fn wcpncpy
96this will always be equal to
97.Po Fa ws1 Li + Fa n Li \(mi 1 Pc .
98.Sh ERRORS
