WMEMMOVE(P) POSIX Programmer's Manual WMEMMOVE(P)NAMEwmemmove - copy wide characters in memory with overlapping areas
SYNOPSIS
#include <wchar.h>
wchar_t *wmemmove(wchar_t *ws1, const wchar_t *ws2, size_t n);
DESCRIPTION
The wmemmove() function shall copy n wide characters from the object
pointed to by ws2 to the object pointed to by ws1. Copying shall take
place as if the n wide characters from the object pointed to by ws2 are
first copied into a temporary array of n wide characters that does not
overlap the objects pointed to by ws1 or ws2, and then the n wide char‐
acters from the temporary array are copied into the object pointed to
by ws1.
This function shall not be affected by locale and all wchar_t values
shall be treated identically. The null wide character and wchar_t val‐
ues not corresponding to valid characters shall not be treated spe‐
cially.
If n is zero, the application shall ensure that ws1 and ws2 are valid
pointers, and the function shall copy zero wide characters.
RETURN VALUE
The wmemmove() function shall return the value of ws1.
