60 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | |
61 | The | |
62 | .Fn wctomb | |
63 | function converts a wide character, | |
64 | .Fa wchar , | |
65 | into a multibyte character and stores the result in | |
66 | .Fa s . | |
67 | The object pointed to by | |
68 | .Fa s | |
69 | must be large enough to accommodate the multibyte character, | |
70 | which may be up to | |
71 | .Dv MB_LEN_MAX | |
72 | bytes. | |
73 | .Pp | |
74 | A call with a null | |
75 | .Fa s | |
76 | pointer returns nonzero if the current locale requires shift states, | |
77 | zero otherwise; | |
78 | if shift states are required, the shift state is reset to the initial state. | |
79 | .Pp | |
80 | Although the | |
81 | .Fn wctomb | |
82 | function uses the current locale, the | |
83 | .Fn wctomb_l | |
84 | function may be passed a locale directly. See | |
85 | .Xr xlocale 3 | |
86 | for more information. | |
87 | .Sh RETURN VALUES | |
88 | If | |
89 | .Fa s | |
90 | is | |
91 | .Dv NULL , | |
92 | the | |
93 | .Fn wctomb | |
94 | function returns nonzero if shift states are supported, | |
95 | zero otherwise. | |
96 | If | |
97 | .Fa s | |
98 | is valid, | |
99 | .Fn wctomb | |
100 | returns | |
101 | the number of bytes processed in | |
102 | .Fa s , | |
103 | or \-1 if no multibyte character | |
104 | could be recognized or converted. | |
105 | In this case, | |
106 | .Fn wctomb Ns 's | |
107 | internal conversion state is undefined. | |
108 | .Sh ERRORS | |
109 | The | |
110 | .Fn wctomb | |
111 | function will fail if: | |
112 | .Bl -tag -width Er | |
113 | .It Bq Er EILSEQ | |
114 | An invalid multibyte sequence was detected. | |
115 | .It Bq Er EINVAL | |
116 | The internal conversion state is invalid. | |
