<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
<I>dest</I>
|
|
|
|
is not NULL,
|
|
the
|
|
<B>wcsrtombs</B>()
|
|
|
|
function converts
|
|
the wide-character string
|
|
<I>*src</I>
|
|
|
|
to a multibyte string starting at
|
|
<I>dest</I>.
|
|
|
|
At most
|
|
<I>len</I>
|
|
|
|
bytes are written to
|
|
<I>dest</I>.
|
|
|
|
The shift state
|
|
<I>*ps</I>
|
|
|
|
is updated.
|
|
The conversion is effectively performed by repeatedly
|
|
calling
|
|
<I>wcrtomb(dest, *src, ps)</I>,
|
|
|
|
as long as this call succeeds,
|
|
and then incrementing
|
|
<I>dest</I>
|
|
|
|
by the
|
|
number of bytes written and
|
|
<I>*src</I>
|
|
|
|
by one.
|
|
The conversion can stop for three reasons:
|
|
<DL COMPACT>
|
|
<DT id="1">1.<DD>
|
|
A wide character has been encountered that can not be represented as a
|
|
multibyte sequence (according to the current locale).
|
|
In this case,
|
|
<I>*src</I>
|
|
|
|
is left pointing to the invalid wide character,
|
|
<I>(size_t) -1</I>
|
|
|
|
is returned,
|
|
and
|
|
<I>errno</I>
|
|
|
|
is set to
|
|
<B>EILSEQ</B>.
|
|
|
|
<DT id="2">2.<DD>
|
|
The length limit forces a stop.
|
|
In this case,
|
|
<I>*src</I>
|
|
|
|
is left pointing
|
|
to the next wide character to be converted,
|
|
and the number of bytes written to
|
|
<I>dest</I>
|
|
|
|
is returned.
|
|
<DT id="3">3.<DD>
|
|
The wide-character string has been completely converted, including the
|
|
terminating null wide character (L'\0'),
|
|
which has the side effect of bringing back
|
|
<I>*ps</I>
|
|
|
|
to the initial state.
|
|
In this case,
|
|
<I>*src</I>
|
|
|
|
is set to NULL, and the number
|
|
of bytes written to
|
|
<I>dest</I>,
|
|
|
|
excluding the terminating null byte ('\0'),
|
|
is returned.
|
|
</DL>
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
<I>dest</I>
|
|
|
|
is NULL,
|
|
<I>len</I>
|
|
|
|
is ignored,
|
|
and the conversion proceeds as above, except that the converted bytes
|
|
are not written out to memory, and that
|
|
no length limit exists.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
In both of the above cases,
|
|
if
|
|
<I>ps</I>
|
|
|
|
is NULL, a static anonymous
|
|
state known only to the
|
|
<B>wcsrtombs</B>()
|
|
|
|
function is used instead.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The programmer must ensure that there is room for at least
|
|
<I>len</I>
|
|
|
|
bytes
|
|
at
|
|
<I>dest</I>.
|
|
|
|
<A NAME="lbAE"> </A>
|
|
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
<B>wcsrtombs</B>()
|
|
|
|
function returns
|
|
the number of bytes that make up the
|
|
converted part of multibyte sequence,
|
|
not including the terminating null byte.
|
|
If a wide character was encountered
|
|
which could not be converted,
|
|
<I>(size_t) -1</I>
|
|
|
|
is returned, and
|
|
<I>errno</I>
|
|
|
|
set to
|
|
<B>EILSEQ</B>.

|

The behavior of

<B>wcsrtombs</B>()
|
|
|
|
depends on the

|
<B>LC_CTYPE</B>
|
|
|

category of the

|
current locale.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
Passing NULL as

|
<I>ps</I>
|
|
|
|
is not multithread safe.
