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. If
52.Fa ws2
53contains fewer than
54.Fa n
55wide-characters, then the
56.Fn wcpncpy
57function pads wide-characters to the end of the destination
58.Fa ws1
59until exactly
60.Fa n
61wide-characters have been written.
62.Lp
63In the case of
64.Fn wcpncpy
65a terminating null wide-character will
66.Em not
67be written if the length of
68.Fa ws2
69exceeds
70.Fa n .
71.Lp
72If
73.Fa ws1
74and
75.Fa ws2
76overlap, the result is undefined.
77.Lp
78The
79.Fn wcpcpy
80and
81.Fn wcpncpy
82functions are the wide-character equivalents of
83.Fn stpcpy
84and
85.Fn stpncpy ,
86respectively.
87.Sh RETURN VALUES
88The
89.Fn wcpcpy
90and
91.Fn wcpncpy
92functions return a pointer to the last wide-character written.  In the
93case of
94.Fn wcpncpy
95this will always be equal to
96.Po Fa ws1 Li + Fa n Li \(mi 1 Pc .
97.Sh ERRORS
