wcsncpy - copy wide character substring
&pagelevel(4)&pagelevel
Syntax | #include <wchar.h> wchar_t *wcsncpy(wchar_t *ws1, const wchar_t *ws2, size_t n); |
Description | wcsncpy() copies a maximum of n characters from the wide character string ws2 to the memory area pointed to by ws1.
If the wide character string ws2 contains less than n characters, only the length of ws2 (wcslen + 1) is copied, and ws1 is then padded to the length of n with null wide character codes. If the wide character string ws2 contains n or more characters (excluding the null wide character code), the wide character string ws1 is not automatically terminated with a null wide character code. If the wide character string ws1 contains more than n characters and the last character copied from ws2 is not a null wide character code, any data which may still remain in ws1 will be retained. wcsncpy() does not automatically terminate ws1 with a null wide character code.
|
Return val. | Pointer to the resulting wide character string ws1. |
Notes | wcsncpy() does not verify whether ws1 has enough space to accommodate the result!
Since wcsncpy() does not automatically terminate the resulting wide character string with a null wide character code, it may often be necessary to explicitly terminate ws1 with a null wide character code. This is typically the case when only a part of ws2 is being copied, and ws2 does not contain a null wide character code either. The behavior is undefined if memory areas overlap. Restriction This version of the C runtime system only supports 1-byte characters as wide character codes. They are of type wchar_t (see stddef.h ). (End) |
