wcsdup - duplicate a wide-character string
#include <wchar.h> wchar_t *wcsdup(const wchar_t *s); Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)): wcsdup(): Since glibc 2.10: _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L Before glibc 2.10: _GNU_SOURCE
The wcsdup() function is the wide-character equivalent of the strdup(3) function. It allocates and returns a new wide-character string whose initial contents is a duplicate of the wide-character string pointed to by s. Memory for the new wide-character string is obtained with malloc(3), and should be freed with free(3).
On success, wcsdup() returns a pointer to the new wide-character string. On error, it returns NULL, with errno set to indicate the cause of the error.
ENOMEM Insufficient memory available to allocate duplicate string.
