Format
#include <wcstr.h> wchar_t *wcscat(wchar_t *string1, const wchar_t *string2);
Language Level: XPG4
wcscat appends a copy of the string pointed to by string2
to the end of the string pointed to by string1.
wcscat operates on null-terminated wchar_t strings. The string arguments to this function should contain a wchar_t null character marking the end of the string. Boundary checking is not performed.
Return Value
wcscat returns a pointer to the concatenated string1.
Example
This example creates the wide character string
"computer program" using wcscat.
#include <stdio.h> #include <wcstr.h>
#define SIZE 40
int main(void)
{
wchar_t buffer1[SIZE] = L"computer";
wchar_t * string = L" program";
wchar_t * ptr;
ptr = wcscat( buffer1, string ); printf( "buffer1 = %ls\n", buffer1 ); return 0;
/***************************************
The output should be:
buffer1 = computer program ***************************************/ }
