.Nm mbrtowc
|
|
.Nd "convert a character to a wide-character code (restartable)"
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In wchar.h
|
|
.Ft size_t
|
|
.Fn mbrtowc "wchar_t * restrict pwc" "const char * restrict s" "size_t n" "mbstate_t * restrict ps"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn mbrtowc
|
|
function inspects at most
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
bytes pointed to by
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
and interprets them as a multibyte character sequence
|
|
according to the current setting of
|
|
.Ev LC_CTYPE .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa pwc
|
|
is not
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
the multibyte character which
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
represents is stored in the
|
|
.Ft wchar_t
|
|
it points to.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
.Fn mbrtowc
|
|
behaves as if
|
|
.Fa pwc
|
|
was
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
was an empty string ("")
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
was 1.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ft mbstate_t
|
|
argument,
|
|
.Fa ps ,
|
|
is used to keep track of the shift state.
|
|
If it is
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
.Fn mbrtowc
|
|
uses an internal, static
|
|
.Ft mbstate_t
|
|
object.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn mbrtowc
|
|
functions returns:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It 0
|
|
The first
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
or fewer bytes of
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
represent the null wide character (L'\e0').
|
|
.It >0
|
|
The first
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
or fewer bytes of
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
represent a valid character,
|
|
.Fn mbrtowc
|
|
returns the length (in bytes) of the multibyte sequence.

|
.It Xo
|

.No ( Ns
|
|
.Ft size_t Ns
|
|

|
|
The first

|
.Fa n
|
|
bytes of
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
are an incomplete multibyte sequence.
|
|
.It Xo
|
|
.No ( Ns
|
|
.Ft size_t Ns
|
|
.No ) Ns \&-1
|
|
.Xc
|
|
The byte sequence pointed to by
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
is an invalid multibyte sequence.
|
