NAME
wcscat
--- concatenate two wide-character strings
SYNOPSIS
#include <wchar.h>
wchar_t *wcscat(wchar_t *restrict ws1, const wchar_t *restrict ws2);
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.1-2017 defers to the ISO C standard.
The
wcscat()
function shall append a copy of the wide-character string pointed to by
ws2
(including the terminating null wide-character code) 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.
If copying takes place between objects that overlap, the behavior is
undefined.
RETURN VALUE
The
wcscat()
function shall return
ws1;
no return value is reserved to indicate an error.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
