std::wcscpy(3)

NAME
std::wcscpy - std::wcscpy

Synopsis
   Defined in header <cwchar>
   wchar_t* wcscpy( wchar_t* dest, const wchar_t* src );
   Copies the wide string pointed to by src (including the terminating null wide
   character) to wide character array pointed to by dest.
   If the strings overlap, the behavior is undefined.

Parameters
   dest - pointer to the wide character array to copy to
   src - pointer to the null-terminated wide string to copy from

Return value
   dest

Example
// Run this code
 #include <clocale>
 #include <cwchar>
 #include <iostream>
 #include <memory>
 int main()
 {
     const wchar_t* src = L"犬 means dog";
 // src[0] = L'狗'; // can't modify string literal
     auto dst = std::make_unique<wchar_t[]>(std::wcslen(src) + 1); // +1 for the null
     std::wcscpy(dst.get(), src);
     dst[0] = L'狗';
     std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8");
     std::wcout.imbue(std::locale(""));
     std::wcout << src << '\n' << dst.get() << '\n';
 }

Output:
 犬 means dog
 狗 means dog
