.Nd convert a wide-character code to a character
|

.Sh LIBRARY

.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In stdlib.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn wctomb "char *mbchar" "wchar_t wchar"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn wctomb
|
|
function converts a wide character
|
|
.Fa wchar
|
|
into a multibyte character and stores
|
|
the result in
|
|
.Fa mbchar .
|
|
The object pointed to by
|
|
.Fa mbchar
|
|
must be large enough to accommodate the multibyte character, which
|
|
may be up to
|
|
.Dv MB_LEN_MAX
|
|
bytes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A call with a null
|
|
.Fa mbchar
|
|
pointer returns nonzero if the current locale requires shift states,
|
|
zero otherwise;
|
|
if shift states are required, the shift state is reset to the initial state.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa mbchar
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
the
|
|
.Fn wctomb
|
|
function returns nonzero if shift states are supported,
|
|
zero otherwise.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa mbchar
|
|
is valid,
|
|
.Fn wctomb
|
|
returns
|
|
the number of bytes processed in
|
|
.Fa mbchar ,
|
|
or \-1 if no multibyte character
|
|
could be recognized or converted.
|
|
In this case,
|
|
.Fn wctomb Ns 's
|
|
internal conversion state is undefined.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn wctomb
|
|
function will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EILSEQ
|
|
An invalid multibyte sequence was detected.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The internal conversion state is invalid.
