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.1‐2017 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         top

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