wcsdup - duplicate a wide-character string
Standard C library (libc
, -lc
)
#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 error.
Insufficient memory available to allocate duplicate string.
