Syntax

#include <wchar.h>
wchar_t *wcscat(wchar_t *string1, const wchar_t *string2);

wcscat appends a copy of the string pointed to by string2 to the end of the string pointed to by string1.

wcscat operates on null-terminated wchar_t strings. The string arguments to this function should contain a wchar_t null character marking the end of the string. Boundary checking is not performed.

wcscat returns a pointer to the concatenated string1.

This example creates the wide character string "computer program" using wcscat.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>

#define  SIZE          40

int main(void)
{
   wchar_t buffer1[SIZE] = L"computer";
   wchar_t *string = L" program";
   wchar_t *ptr;

   ptr = wcscat(buffer1, string);
   printf("buffer1 = %ls\n", buffer1);
   return 0;

   /****************************************************************************
      The output should be:

      buffer1 = computer program
   ****************************************************************************/
