   wctomb    ( 3 )

Имя (Name)

wctomb - convert a wide character to a multibyte sequence

---

Синопсис (Synopsis)

#include <stdlib.h>

       int wctomb(char *s, wchar_t wc);

---

Описание (Description)

If s is not NULL, the wctomb() function converts the wide
       character wc to its multibyte representation and stores it at the
       beginning of the character array pointed to by s.  It updates the
       shift state, which is stored in a static anonymous variable known
       only to the wctomb() function, and returns the length of said
       multibyte representation, that is, the number of bytes written at
       s.

       The programmer must ensure that there is room for at least
       MB_CUR_MAX bytes at s.

       If s is NULL, the wctomb() 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.

Возвращаемое значение (Return value)

If s is not NULL, the wctomb() function returns the number of
       bytes that have been written to the byte array at s.  If wc can
       not be represented as a multibyte sequence (according to the
       current locale), -1 is returned.

       If s is NULL, the wctomb() function returns nonzero if the
       encoding has nontrivial shift state, or zero if the encoding is
       stateless.

Примечание (Note)

The behavior of wctomb() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the
       current locale.

       The function wcrtomb(3) provides a better interface to the same
       functionality.
