wcslcpy(3bsd)

💅 wcslcpy — the manual page, but make it make sense

okay bestie, so like... it's wcslcpy(3bsd), it lives in the LOCAL section, and it's giving "wide character string manipulation" energy. No cap, this one's short and sweet, so let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

wcslcat, wcslcpy — wide character string manipulation operations 💖

📚 LIBRARY 📚

Utility functions from BSD systems, and she's chilling in libbsd, so you link her with -lbsd 🌸

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <wchar.h>

(also, bestie, peep libbsd(7) for how the include usage actually works, iykyk 👀)

size_t
wcslcat(wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2, size_t n);

size_t
wcslcpy(wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2, size_t n);

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

So these two functions implement string manipulation operations, but over wide character strings instead of your regular lil byte strings ✨

For a detailed description? Girl, go read the docs for the respective single-byte counterpart, like strlcpy(3bsd). She's the blueprint, wcslcpy is just her wide-character era 💅

fr fr, that's the whole page. short king behaviour, but every flag is accounted for 💀

and that's a wrap, bestie 💖 this little cutie is brought to you by Debian, dated March 4, 2009 — yes she's vintage, she's still slaying, and she's from the wcslcpy(3bsd) LOCAL section. mwah 🎀✨🦋
