NAME

       btowc - Converts a single byte from multibyte-character to wide-character format

LIBRARY

       Standard C Library (libc)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stdio.h> #include <wchar.h>

       wint_t btowc(
	       int c );

PARAMETERS

       Points to a variable containing a single-byte character.

DESCRIPTION

       The  btowc()  function determines if a single-byte value constitutes a valid character in the initial shift state from a multibyte codeset.
       If so, the function returns the corresponding wide-character value.  This function provides a multibyte-character to wide-character  format
       conversion  correctly  sized for the %c conversion specifier that is permitted in calls to *printf() functions.	In general, use either the
       mbtowc() or mbrtowc() function to perform multibyte-character to wide-character format conversions of single characters.

RETURN VALUES

       The btowc() function returns one of the following: The counterpart wide-character value, if c contains a valid multibyte character  in  the
       initial shift state WEOF, if c contains EOF or does not constitute a valid character in the initial shift state from a multibyte codeset

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.
