# std::wmemcpy

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | string‎ | wide

Defined in header `<cwchar>` |  |
wchar_t* wmemcpy( wchar_t* dest, const wchar_t* src, std::size_t count ); |  |

Copies `count` wide characters from the object pointed to by `src` to the object pointed to by `dest`. If the objects overlap, the behavior is undefined. If the objects are not trivially copyable (scalars, arrays, C-compatible structs), the behavior is undefined.

### [edit] Parameters

dest | - | pointer to the memory location to copy to
src | - | pointer to the memory location to copy from
count | - | number of wide characters to copy

### [edit] Return value

`dest`
