NAME
       wcsdup - duplicate a wide-character string

SYNOPSIS
       #define _GNU_SOURCE
       #include <wchar.h>

       wchar_t *wcsdup(const wchar_t *s);

DESCRIPTION
       The  wcsdup()  function is the wide-character equivalent of the strdup(3) function.  It allocates and returns a new wide-
       character string whose initial contents is a duplicate of the wide-character string pointed to by s.

       Memory for the new wide-character string is obtained with malloc(3), and should be freed with free(3).

RETURN VALUE
       The wcsdup() function returns a pointer to the new wide-character string, or NULL if sufficient memory was not available.

ERRORS
       ENOMEM Insufficient memory available to allocate duplicate string.

CONFORMING TO
       POSIX.1-2008.  This function is not specified in POSIX.1-2001, and is not widely available on other systems.
