wctob(3C)						   Standard C Library Functions 						 wctob(3C)

NAME

       wctob - wide-character to single-byte conversion

SYNOPSIS

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

       int wctob(wint_t c);

DESCRIPTION

       The wctob() function determines whether c corresponds to a member of the extended character set whose  character representation is a single
       byte when in the initial shift state.

       The behavior of this function is affected by the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale.  See environ(5)

RETURN VALUES

       The wctob() function returns EOF if c does not correspond to a character with length one in the initial shift state.  Otherwise, it returns
       the single-byte representation of that character.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.

ATTRIBUTES

NOTES

       The wctob() function can be used safely in multithreaded applications, as long as setlocale(3C) is not being called to change the locale.

NAME

     btowc, wctob -- convert between wide and single-byte characters

LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <wchar.h>

     wint_t
     btowc(int c);

     int
     wctob(wint_t c);

     #include <wchar.h>
     #include <xlocale.h>

     wint_t
     btowc_l(int c, locale_t loc);

     int
     wctob_l(wint_t c, locale_t loc);

DESCRIPTION

     The btowc() function converts a single-byte character into a corresponding wide character.  If the character is EOF or not valid in the ini-
     tial shift state, btowc() returns WEOF.

     The wctob() function converts a wide character into a corresponding single-byte character.  If the wide character is WEOF or not able to be
     represented as a single byte in the initial shift state, wctob() returns EOF.

     The _l-suffixed versions take an explicit locale argument, while the non-suffixed versions use the current global or per-thread locale.

SEE ALSO

STANDARDS

     The btowc() and wctob() functions conform to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').

HISTORY

     The btowc() and wctob() functions first appeared in FreeBSD 5.0.
