Description
The wcsncat() function is the wide-character equivalent of the strncat(3) function. It copies at most n
wide characters from the wide-character string pointed to by src to the end of the wide-character string
pointed to by dest, and adds a terminating null wide character (L'\0').
The strings may not overlap.
The programmer must ensure that there is room for at least wcslen(dest)+n+1 wide characters at dest.
