+.SH NAME

+.SH LIBRARY
+Standard C library

+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <wchar.h>
+.PP
+.BI "wchar_t *wcsncpy(wchar_t " dest "[restrict ." n ],
+.BI " const wchar_t " src "[restrict ." n ],
+.BI " size_t " n );

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR wcsncpy ()
+function is the wide-character equivalent of the
+.BR strncpy (3)
+function.
+It copies at most
+.I n
+wide characters from the wide-character
+string pointed to by
+.IR src ,
+including the terminating null wide character (L\[aq]\e0\[aq]),
+to the array pointed to by
+.IR dest .
+Exactly
+.I n
+wide characters are
+written at
+.IR dest .
+If the length \fIwcslen(src)\fP is smaller than
+.IR n ,
+the remaining wide characters in the array
+pointed to by
+.I dest
+are filled
+with null wide characters.
+If the length \fIwcslen(src)\fP is greater than or equal
+to
+.IR n ,
+the string pointed to by
+.I dest
+will not be terminated by a null wide character.
+.PP
+The strings may not overlap.
+.PP
+The programmer must ensure that there is room for at least
+.I n
+wide
+characters at
+.IR dest .
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.BR wcsncpy ()
+returns
+.IR dest .
