Syntax
#include <wchar.h> wchar_t *wcscpy(wchar_t *string1, const wchar_t *string2);Description
wcscpy copies the contents of string2 (including the ending wchar_t null character) into string1.
wcscpy operates on null-terminated wchar_t strings; string arguments to this function should contain a wchar_t null character marking the end of the string. Boundary checking is not performed.
wcscpy returns a pointer to string1.
This example copies the contents of source to destination.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>
#define SIZE 40
int main(void)
{
wchar_t source[SIZE] = L"This is the source string";
wchar_t destination[SIZE] = L"And this is the destination string";
wchar_t *return_string;
printf("destination is originally = \"%ls\"\n", destination);
return_string = wcscpy(destination, source);
printf("After wcscpy, destination becomes \"%ls\"\n", return_string);
return 0;

The output should be:
destination is originally = "And this is the destination string"
After wcscpy, destination becomes "This is the source string"
