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



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

NAME
       wmemmove -- 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 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.1-2017
       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
       The wmemmove() function shall return the value of ws1.
