<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
<I>s</I>
|
|
|
|
is not NULL,
|
|
the
|
|
<B>wctomb</B>()
|
|
|
|
function converts the wide character
|
|
<I>wc</I>
|
|
|
|
to its multibyte representation and stores it at the beginning of
|
|
the character array pointed to by
|
|
<I>s</I>.
|
|
|
|
It updates the shift state, which
|
|
is stored in a static anonymous variable
|
|
known only to the
|
|
<B>wctomb</B>()
|
|
|
|
function,
|
|
and returns the length of said multibyte representation,
|
|
that is, the number of
|
|
bytes written at
|
|
<I>s</I>.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The programmer must ensure that there is
|
|
room for at least
|
|
<B>MB_CUR_MAX</B>
|
|
|
|
bytes at
|
|
<I>s</I>.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
<I>s</I>
|
|
|
|
is NULL, the
|
|
<B>wctomb</B>()
|
|
|
|
function
|
|
|
|
|
|
resets the shift state, known only to this function,
|
|
to the initial state, and
|
|
returns nonzero if the encoding has nontrivial shift state,
|
|
or zero if the encoding is stateless.

|
|
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
<I>s</I>
|
|
|
|
is not NULL, the
|
|
<B>wctomb</B>()
|
|
|
|
function
|
|
returns the number of bytes
|
|
that have been written to the byte array at
|
|
<I>s</I>.
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
<I>wc</I>
|
|
|
|
can not be
|
|
represented as a multibyte sequence (according
|
|
to the current locale), -1 is returned.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
<I>s</I>
|
|
|
|
is NULL, the
|
|
<B>wctomb</B>()
|
|
|
|
function returns nonzero if the
|
|
encoding has nontrivial shift state, or zero if the encoding is stateless.
