NAME
wcrtomb, wcrtomb_l -- 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 wc, mbstate_t *restrict ps); #include <wchar.h> #include <xlocale.h> size_t wcrtomb_l(char *restrict s, wchar_t wc, mbstate_t *restrict ps, locale_t loc);
DESCRIPTION
The wcrtomb() function stores a multibyte sequence representing the wide character wc, including any necessary shift sequences, to the char- acter array s. A maximum of MB_CUR_MAX bytes will be stored. If s is NULL, wcrtomb() behaves as if s pointed to an internal buffer and wc were a null wide character (L''). The mbstate_t argument, ps, is used to keep track of the shift state. If it is NULL, wcrtomb() uses an internal, static mbstate_t object, which is initialized to the initial conversion state at program startup. While the wcrtomb() function uses the current locale, the wcrtomb_l() function may be passed a locale directly. See xlocale(3) for more information.
RETURN VALUES
The wcrtomb() functions returns the length (in bytes) of the multibyte sequence needed to represent wc, or (size_t)-1 if wc is not a valid wide character code.
ERRORS
The wcrtomb() function will fail if: [EILSEQ] An invalid wide character code was specified. [EINVAL] The conversion state is invalid.
