PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (con-
       sult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the  interface  may  not  be  implemented  on
       Linux.

NAME
       wmemcpy - copy wide characters in memory

SYNOPSIS
       #include <wchar.h>

       wchar_t *wmemcpy(wchar_t *restrict ws1, const wchar_t *restrict ws2,
              size_t n);


DESCRIPTION
       The  wmemcpy()  function  shall copy n wide characters from the object pointed to by ws2 to the object pointed to by ws1.
       This function shall not be affected by locale and all wchar_t values shall be treated identically. The null wide  charac-
       ter and wchar_t values not corresponding to valid characters shall not be treated specially.

       If  n  is  zero,  the application shall ensure that ws1 and ws2 are valid pointers, and the function shall copy zero wide
       characters.

RETURN VALUE
       The wmemcpy() function shall return the value of ws1.

ERRORS
