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.
