WMEMMOVE(3P)              POSIX Programmer's Manual             WMEMMOVE(3P)

PROLOG         top

       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
       the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       wmemmove — copy wide characters in memory with overlapping areas

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <wchar.h>
       wchar_t *wmemmove(wchar_t *ws1, const wchar_t *ws2, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with
       the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described
       here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of
       POSIX.1‐2008 defers to the ISO C standard.
       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 characters 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
       values not corresponding to valid characters shall not be treated
       specially.
       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         top

       The wmemmove() function shall return the value of ws1.
