+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR wcpncpy ()
+function is the wide-character equivalent
+of the
+.BR stpncpy (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 (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
+.I wcslen(src)
+is smaller than
+.IR n ,
+the remaining wide characters in the array pointed to
+by
+.I dest
+are filled with L\[aq]\e0\[aq] characters.
+If the length
+.I wcslen(src)
+is greater than or equal
+to
+.IR n ,
+the string pointed to by
+.I dest
+will
+not be L\[aq]\e0\[aq] terminated.
+.P
+The strings may not overlap.
+.P
+The programmer must ensure that there is room for at least
+.I n
+wide
+characters at
+.IR dest .
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.BR wcpncpy ()
+returns a pointer to the last wide character written, that is,
+.IR dest + n \-1.
