.SH DESCRIPTION
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
If \fIs\fP is not NULL,
|
2007-05-12 09:06:04 +00:00
|
|
|
the
|
|
|
|
.BR wctomb ()
|
|
|
|
function converts the wide character
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
\fIwc\fP to its multibyte representation and stores it at the beginning of
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
the character array pointed to by \fIs\fP.
|
|
|
|
It updates the shift state, which
|
|
|
|
is stored in a static anonymous variable
|
|
|
|
only known to the wctomb function,
|
|
|
|
and returns the length of said multibyte representation,
|
2007-06-08 11:56:22 +00:00
|
|
|
that is, the number of
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
bytes written at \fIs\fP.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
The programmer must ensure that there is
|
|
|
|
room for at least \fBMB_CUR_MAX\fP
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
bytes at \fIs\fP.
