.SH DESCRIPTION
|
2005-10-19 06:54:38 +00:00
|
|
|
The \fBbtowc\fP() function converts \fIc\fP, interpreted as a multibyte sequence
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
of length 1, starting in the initial shift state, to a wide character and
|
|
|
|
|
returns it. If \fIc\fP is EOF or not a valid multibyte sequence of length 1,
|
2005-10-19 06:54:38 +00:00
|
|
|
the \fBbtowc\fP() function returns WEOF.

.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
2005-10-19 06:54:38 +00:00
|
|
|
The \fBbtowc\fP() function returns the wide character converted from the single
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
byte \fIc\fP. If \fIc\fP is EOF or not a valid multibyte sequence of length 1,
|
|
|
|
|
it returns WEOF.

.SH NOTES
|
2005-10-19 06:54:38 +00:00
|
|
|
The behaviour of \fBbtowc\fP() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
current locale.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
This function should never be used. It does not work for encodings which have
|
|
|
|
|
state, and unnecessarily treats single bytes differently from multibyte
|
2005-10-19 08:35:30 +00:00
|
|
|
sequences. Use the function \fBmbtowc\fP() instead.
