1) Appends a copy of the wide string pointed to by
src
to the end of the wide string pointed to by dest
. The wide character src[0]
replaces the null terminator at the end of dest
. The resulting wide string is null-terminated. The behavior is undefined if the destination array is not large enough for the contents of both str
and dest
and the terminating null wide character. The behavior is undefined if the strings overlap. 2) Same as (1), except that it may clobber the rest of the destination array (from the last character written to
destsz
) with unspecified values and that the following errors are detected at runtime and call the currently installed constraint handler function: -
-
src
ordest
is a null pointer -
destsz
is zero or greater thanRSIZE_MAX/sizeof(wchar_t)
- there is no null terminator in the first
destsz
bytes ofdest
- truncation would occur (the available space at the end of
dest
would not fit every wide character, including the null terminator, ofsrc
) - overlap would occur between the source and the destination strings
-
- As all bounds-checked functions,
wcscat_s
is only guaranteed to be available if__STDC_LIB_EXT1__
is defined by the implementation and if the user defines__STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT1__
to the integer constant1
before includingwchar.h
.
Parameters
dest | - | pointer to the null-terminated wide string to append to |
src | - | pointer to the null-terminated wide string to copy from |
destsz | - | maximum number of characters to write, typically the size of the destination buffer |
Return value
1) returns a copy of
dest
2) returns zero on success, returns non-zero on error. Also, on error, writes
L'\0'
to dest[0]
(unless dest
is a null pointer or destsz
is zero or greater than RMAX_SIZE/sizeof(wchar_t)
).Example
#include <wchar.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <locale.h> int main(void) { wchar_t str[50] = L"Земля, прощай."; wcscat(str, L" "); wcscat(str, L"В добрый путь."); setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8"); printf("%ls", str); }
Output:
Земля, прощай. В добрый путь.
