24 | .Sh SYNOPSIS | ||
25 | .Fd #include <wchar.h> | ||
26 | .Ft size_t | ||
27 | .Fn wcslcpy "wchar_t *dst" "const wchar_t *src" "size_t size" | ||
28 | .Ft size_t | ||
29 | .Fn wcslcat "wchar_t *dst" "const wchar_t *src" "size_t size" | ||
30 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | ||
31 | The | ||
32 | .Fn wcslcpy | ||
33 | and | ||
34 | .Fn wcslcat | ||
35 | functions copy and concatenate wide strings respectively. | ||
36 | They are designed to be safer, more consistent, and less error prone | ||
37 | replacements for | ||
38 | .Xr wcsncpy 3 | ||
39 | and | ||
40 | .Xr wcsncat 3 . | ||
41 | Unlike those functions, | ||
42 | .Fn wcslcpy | ||
43 | and | ||
44 | .Fn wcslcat | ||
45 | take the full size of the buffer (not just the length) and guarantee to | ||
46 | terminate the result with a null wide character (as long as | ||
47 | .Fa size | ||
48 | is larger than 0 or, in the case of | ||
49 | .Fn wcslcat , | ||
50 | as long as there is at least one wide character free in | ||
51 | .Fa dst ) . | ||
52 | Note that a wide character for the null wide character should be included in | ||
53 | .Fa size . | ||
54 | Also note that | ||
55 | .Fn wcslcpy | ||
56 | and | ||
57 | .Fn wcslcat | ||
58 | only operate on wide strings that are terminated with a null wide character | ||
59 | (L'\e0'). | ||
60 | This means that for | ||
61 | .Fn wcslcpy | ||
62 | .Fa src | ||
63 | must be terminated with a null wide character and for | ||
64 | .Fn wcslcat | ||
65 | both | ||
66 | .Fa src | ||
67 | and | ||
68 | .Fa dst | ||
69 | must be terminated with a null wide character. | ||
70 | .Pp | ||
71 | The | ||
72 | .Fn wcslcpy | ||
73 | function copies up to | ||
74 | .Fa size | ||
75 | \(mi 1 wide characters from the wide string | ||
76 | .Fa src | ||
77 | to | ||
78 | .Fa dst , | ||
79 | terminating the result with a null wide character. | ||
80 | .Pp | ||
81 | The | ||
82 | .Fn wcslcat | ||
83 | function appends the wide string | ||
84 | .Fa src | ||
85 | to the end of | ||
86 | .Fa dst . | ||
87 | It will append at most | ||
88 | .Fa size | ||
89 | \(mi wcslen(dst) \(mi 1 wide characters, terminating the result with a null | ||
90 | wide character. | ||
91 | .Sh RETURN VALUES | ||
92 | The | ||
93 | .Fn wcslcpy | ||
94 | and | ||
95 | .Fn wcslcat | ||
96 | functions return the total length of the wide string they tried to create. | ||
97 | For | ||
98 | .Fn wcslcpy | ||
99 | that means the length of | ||
100 | .Fa src . | ||
101 | For | ||
102 | .Fn wcslcat | ||
103 | that means the initial length of | ||
104 | .Fa dst | ||
105 | plus | ||
106 | the length of | ||
107 | .Fa src . | ||
108 | While this may seem somewhat confusing, it was done to make | ||
109 | truncation detection simple. | ||
110 | .Pp | ||
111 | Note, however, that if | ||
112 | .Fn wcslcat | ||
113 | traverses | ||
114 | .Fa size | ||
115 | wide characters without finding a null wide character, the length of the | ||
116 | string is considered to be | ||
117 | .Fa size | ||
118 | and the destination wide string will not be terminated with a null wide | ||
119 | character (since there was no space for it). | ||
120 | This keeps | ||
121 | .Fn wcslcat | ||
122 | from running off the end of a wide string. | ||
123 | In practice this should not happen (as it means that either | ||
124 | .Fa size | ||
125 | is incorrect or that | ||
126 | .Fa dst | ||
127 | is not terminated with a null wide character). | ||
128 | The check exists to prevent potential security problems in incorrect code. | ||
