48 | .Sh SYNOPSIS | |
49 | .In stdlib.h | |
50 | .Ft int | |
51 | .Fn wctomb "char *mbchar" "wchar_t wchar" | |
52 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | |
53 | The | |
54 | .Fn wctomb | |
55 | function converts a wide character | |
56 | .Fa wchar | |
57 | into a multibyte character and stores | |
58 | the result in | |
59 | .Fa mbchar . | |
60 | The object pointed to by | |
61 | .Fa mbchar | |
62 | must be large enough to accommodate the multibyte character, which | |
63 | may be up to | |
64 | .Dv MB_LEN_MAX | |
65 | bytes. | |
66 | .Pp | |
67 | A call with a null | |
68 | .Fa mbchar | |
69 | pointer returns nonzero if the current locale requires shift states, | |
70 | zero otherwise; | |
71 | if shift states are required, the shift state is reset to the initial state. | |
72 | .Sh RETURN VALUES | |
73 | If | |
74 | .Fa mbchar | |
75 | is | |
76 | .Dv NULL , | |
77 | the | |
78 | .Fn wctomb | |
79 | function returns nonzero if shift states are supported, | |
80 | zero otherwise. | |
81 | If | |
82 | .Fa mbchar | |
83 | is valid, | |
84 | .Fn wctomb | |
85 | returns | |
86 | the number of bytes processed in | |
87 | .Fa mbchar , | |
88 | or \-1 if no multibyte character | |
89 | could be recognized or converted. | |
90 | In this case, | |
91 | .Fn wctomb Ns 's | |
92 | internal conversion state is undefined. | |
93 | .Sh ERRORS | |
94 | The | |
95 | .Fn wctomb | |
96 | function will fail if: | |
97 | .Bl -tag -width Er | |
98 | .It Bq Er EILSEQ | |
99 | An invalid multibyte sequence was detected. | |
100 | .It Bq Er EINVAL | |
101 | The internal conversion state is invalid. | |
