  36      -In this case, the values of the arguments \fIpwc\fR and \fIn\fR are ignored.
       44 +Likewise, if

       46 +is a null pointer, the

  39      -If \fIs\fR is not a null pointer, the \fBmbrtowc()\fR function inspects at most
  40      -\fIn\fR bytes beginning at the byte pointed to by  \fIs\fR to determine the
  41      -number of bytes needed to complete the next  character (including any shift
  42      -sequences).  If the function determines that the next character is completed,
  43      -it determines the value of the corresponding wide-character and then, if
  44      -\fIpwc\fR is not a null pointer, stores that value in the object pointed to by

       63 +.I s

       66 +bytes beginning at the byte pointed to by

       68 +to determine the number of bytes needed to complete the next character
       69 +(including any shift sequences).  If the functions determine that the next
       70 +character is completed,
       71 +they determine the value of the corresponding wide-character and then, if
       72 +.I pwc
       73 +is not a null pointer, stores that value in the object pointed to by

  49      -If \fIps\fR is a null pointer, the \fBmbrtowc()\fR function uses its own
