+.SH NAME
+wcsdup
+\(em duplicate a wide-character string
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <wchar.h>
+.P
+wchar_t *wcsdup(const wchar_t *\fIstring\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+\fIwcsdup\fR()
+function is the wide-character equivalent of the
+\fIstrdup\fR()
+function.
+.P
+The
+\fIwcsdup\fR()
+function shall return a pointer to a new wide-character string,
+allocated as if by a call to
+\fImalloc\fR(),
+which is the duplicate of the wide-character string
+.IR string .
+The returned pointer can be passed to
+\fIfree\fR().
+A null pointer is returned if the new wide-character string cannot be
+created.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+Upon successful completion, the
+\fIwcsdup\fR()
+function shall return a pointer to the newly allocated wide-character
+string. Otherwise, it shall return a null pointer and set
+.IR errno
+to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+\fIwcsdup\fR()
+function shall fail if:
+.TP
+.BR ENOMEM
+Memory large enough for the duplicate string could not be allocated.
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH EXAMPLES
+None.
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+For functions that allocate memory as if by
+\fImalloc\fR(),
+the application should release such memory when it is no longer
+required by a call to
+\fIfree\fR().
+For
+\fIwcsdup\fR(),
+this is the return value.
+.SH RATIONALE
+None.
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+None.
