+.SH NAME
+wcsncpy \- copy a fixed-size string of wide characters
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <wchar.h>
+.sp
+.BI "wchar_t *wcsncpy(wchar_t *" dest ", const wchar_t *" src ", size_t " n );
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \fBwcsncpy\fP function is the wide-character equivalent of the \fBstrncpy\fP
+function. It copies at most \fIn\fP wide characters from the wide-character
+string pointed to by \fIsrc\fP, including the terminating L'\\0' character,
+to the array pointed to by \fIdest\fP. Exactly \fIn\fP wide characters are
+written at \fIdest\fP. If the length \fIwcslen(src)\fP is smaller than \fIn\fP,
+the remaining wide characters in the array pointed to by \fIdest\fP are filled
+with L'\\0' characters. If the length \fIwcslen(src)\fP is greater or equal
+to \fIn\fP, the string pointed to by \fIdest\fP will not be L'\\0' terminated.
+.PP
+The strings may not overlap.
+.PP
+The programmer must ensure that there is room for at least \fIn\fP wide
+characters at \fIdest\fP.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+\fBwcsncpy\fP returns \fIdest\fP.
