NAME
wcrtomb, c16rtomb, c32rtomb -- convert a wide-character code to a character (restartable)
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <wchar.h> size_t wcrtomb(char * restrict s, wchar_t c, mbstate_t * restrict ps); #include <uchar.h> size_t c16rtomb(char * restrict s, char16_t c, mbstate_t * restrict ps); size_t c32rtomb(char * restrict s, char32_t c, mbstate_t * restrict ps);
DESCRIPTION
The wcrtomb(), c16rtomb() and c32rtomb() functions store a multibyte sequence representing the wide character c, including any necessary shift sequences, to the character array s, storing a maximum of MB_CUR_MAX bytes. If s is NULL, these functions behave as if s pointed to an internal buffer and c was a null wide character (L''). The mbstate_t argument, ps, is used to keep track of the shift state. If it is NULL, these functions use an internal, static mbstate_t object, which is initialized to the initial conversion state at program startup. As certain multibyte characters may only be represented by a series of 16-bit characters, the c16rtomb() may need to invoked multiple times before a multibyte sequence is returned.
RETURN VALUES
These functions return the length (in bytes) of the multibyte sequence needed to represent c, or (size_t)-1 if c is not a valid wide charac- ter code.
ERRORS
The wcrtomb(), c16rtomb() and c32rtomb() functions will fail if: [EILSEQ] An invalid wide character code was specified. [EINVAL] The conversion state is invalid.
