Instead of documenting all the wide string functions in wmemchr(3), add
individual pages (based on the existing string man pages). By Tim van der Molen (tbvdm at xs4all dot nl) after a suggestion by millert@. ok deraadt

37.Sh NAME
38.Nm wmemcpy
39.Nd copy wide characters
40.Sh SYNOPSIS
41.Fd #include <wchar.h>
42.Ft wchar_t *
43.Fn memcpy "wchar_t * restrict dst" "const wchar_t * restrict src" "size_t len"
44.Sh DESCRIPTION
45The
46.Fn wmemcpy
47function copies
48.Fa len
49wide characters from buffer
50.Fa src
51to buffer
52.Fa dst .
53.Sh RETURN VALUES
54The
55.Fn wmemcpy
56function returns the original value of
57.Fa dst .
58.Sh SEE ALSO
59.Xr wcscpy 3 ,
60.Xr wcslcpy 3 ,
61.Xr wmemmove 3
62.Sh STANDARDS
63The
64.Fn wmemcpy
65function conforms to
66.St -isoC-99
67and was first introduced in
68.St -isoC-amd1 .
69.Sh BUGS
70In this implementation
71.Fn wmemcpy
72is implemented using
73.Xr bcopy 3 ,
74and therefore the buffers may overlap.
75On other systems, copying overlapping buffers may produce surprises.
76A simpler solution is to not use
77.Fn wmemcpy .
