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.1‐2017 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.
