mbsinit(3C) mbsinit(3C) NAME
mbsinit() - determine conversion object status SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
If ps is not a null pointer, the function determines whether the object pointed to by ps describes an initial conversion state. APPLICATION USAGE
The mbstate_t object is used to describe the current conversion state from a particular character sequence to a wide-character sequence (or vice versa) under the rules of a particular setting of the category of the current locale. The initial conversion state corresponds, for a conversion in either direction, to the beginning of a new character sequence in the initial shift state. A zero valued mbstate_t object is at least one way to describe an initial conversion state. A zero valued mbstate_t object can be used to initiate conversion involving any character sequence. The prototype of this function is available to applications if they are: a. conformant. b. Compiled with macro with a value >=500. c. Compiled with macro with a value >= 200112. EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables The behavior of this function is affected by the category of the current locale. RETURN VALUE
The function returns non-zero if ps is a null pointer, or if the pointed-to object describes an initial conversion state; otherwise, it returns zero. The behavior is undefined if an mbstate_t object is altered by any of the functions described as "restartable", and is then used with a different character sequence, or in the other conversion direction, or with a different category setting than on earlier function calls. ERRORS
No errors are defined. AUTHOR
