WCPCPY(3POSIX)

💖 PROLOG 💖

okay so before we even get into it — bestie, this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. that's its whole home base, no cap. 🏠

and here's the tea you actually need to know: the Linux implementation of this interface may differ from what's written here. so if you're on Linux, go consult the corresponding Linux manual page for the details on Linux behavior. or — plot twist — the interface might not be implemented on Linux at all. 💀 so do a vibe check on your platform before you come for her, okay?

✨ NAME ✨
