Description
The wcpcpy() function is the wide-character equivalent of the stpcpy(3) function. It copies the wide-
character string pointed to by src, including the terminating null wide character (L'\0'), to the array
pointed to by dest.
The strings may not overlap.
The programmer must ensure that there is room for at least wcslen(src)+1 wide characters at dest.
