Language Level: XPG4
Threadsafe: Yes
Wide Character Function: See Wide Characters for more information.
Description
The wcsncpy() function copies up to count wide characters from string2 to string1. If string2 is shorter than count characters, string1 is padded out to count characters with wchar_t null characters.
The wcsncpy() function operates on null-ended wide-character strings; string arguments to this function should contain a wchar_t null character marking the end of the string. Only string2 needs to contain a null character.
Return Value
The wcsncpy() returns a pointer to string1.
