+ * Name:  wcsncpy
+ *
+ * Description:
+ *    Copies the first num characters of source to destination. If the end
+ *    of the source C wide string (which is signaled by a null wide
+ *    character) is found before num characters have been copied, destination
+ *    is padded with additional null wide characters until a total of num
+ *    characters have been written to it.
+ *
+ * Input Parameters:
+ *   d - the destination wchar string where the content is to be copied
+ *   s - the wchar string to be copied
+ *   n - maximum number of wide characters to be copied from source
+ *
+ * Returned Value:
+ *   A pointer to the destination string
