DESCRIPTION
The

function is the wide-character equivalent of the
stpcpy(3)
function.
It copies the wide-character string pointed to by
src,
including the terminating null wide 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

returns a pointer to the end of the wide-character string
dest,
that is, a pointer to the terminating null wide character.
