wcstombs, wcstombs_l -- convert a wide-character string to a character string
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
size_t
wcstombs(char *restrict s, const wchar_t *restrict pwcs, size_t n);
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <xlocale.h>
size_t
wcstombs_l(char *restrict s, const wchar_t *restrict pwcs, size_t n, locale_t loc);
DESCRIPTION
The wcstombs() function converts a wide character string pwcs into a multibyte character string, s, beginning in the initial conversion
state. Up to n bytes are stored in s. Partial multibyte characters at the end of the string are not stored. The multibyte character string
is null terminated, if there is room.
Although the wcstombs() function uses the current locale, the wcstombs_l() function may be passed a locale directly. See xlocale(3) for more
information.
RETURN VALUES
The wcstombs() function returns the number of bytes converted (not including any terminating null), if successful; otherwise, it returns
(size_t)-1.
ERRORS
The wcstombs() function will fail if:
[EILSEQ] An invalid wide character was encountered.
[EINVAL] The conversion state is invalid.
SEE ALSO mbstowcs(3), multibyte(3), wcsrtombs(3), wctomb(3), xlocale(3)STANDARDS
The wcstombs() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (``ISO C99'').

wcstombs -- converts a wide-character string to a multibyte character string
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
size_t
wcstombs(char * restrict s, const wchar_t * restrict pwcs, size_t n);
DESCRIPTION
wcstombs() converts the nul-terminated wide-character string pointed to by pwcs to the corresponding multibyte character string, and stores
it in the array pointed to by s. This function may modify the first at most n bytes of the array pointed to by s. Each character will be
converted as if wctomb(3) is continuously called, except the internal state of wctomb(3) will not be affected.
For state-dependent encoding, the wcstombs() implies the result multibyte character string pointed to by s always to begin with an initial
state.
The behaviour of wcstombs() is affected by the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale.
These are the special cases:
s == NULL The wcstombs() returns the number of bytes to store the whole multibyte character string corresponding to the wide-character
string pointed to by pwcs. In this case, n is ignored.
pwcs == NULL Undefined (may cause the program to crash).
RETURN VALUES
wcstombs() returns:
0 or positive
Number of bytes stored in the array pointed to by s. There are no cases that the value returned is greater than n (unless s is
a null pointer). If the return value is equal to n, the string pointed to by s will not be nul-terminated.
(size_t)-1 pwcs points to a string containing an invalid wide character. wcstombs() also sets errno to indicate the error.
ERRORS
wcstombs() may cause an error in the following case:
[EILSEQ] pwcs points to a string containing an invalid wide character.
SEE ALSO mbstowcs(3), setlocale(3), wctomb(3)STANDARDS
The wcstombs() function conforms to ANSI X3.159-1989 (``ANSI C89''). The restrict qualifier is added at ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (``ISO C99'').

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.

Greetings,
I'm trying to delete a file with a weird name from within Terminal on a Mac.

Hi all...
Well guys and gals, I jumped in at the deep end and found things that PERL cannot do by default.

Well, guys I saw a question about GOTO for Python.
So this gave me the inspiration to attempt a GOTO function for 'dash', (bash and ksh too).
