wcscat — concatenate two wide-character strings

Synopsis

        #include <wchar.h>
wchar_t *wcscat( wchar_t *dest,

DESCRIPTION

The wcscat() function is the wide-character equivalent of the strcat(3) function. It copies the wide-character string pointed to by src, including the terminating null wide character (L'\0'), to the end of the wide-character string pointed to by dest.

The strings may not overlap.

The programmer must ensure that there is room for at least wcslen(dest)+wcslen(src)+1 wide characters at dest.
