  21   28  .SH DESCRIPTION
  22      -.sp
  23   29  .LP
  24   30  If \fBps\fR is not a null pointer, the \fBmbsinit()\fR function determines
  25      -whether the object pointed to by \fBps\fR describes an initial conversion
  26      -state.
       31 +whether the object pointed to by \fBps\fR describes an initial conversion state.
       32 +.LP
       33 +The function \fBmbsinit_l()\fR behaves identically to \fBmbsinit()\fR except the
       34 +current locale is ignored and the locale \fIloc\fR is used instead.
  27   35  .SH RETURN VALUES
  28      -.sp
  29   36  .LP
  30   37  The \fBmbsinit()\fR function returns non-zero if  \fBps\fR is a null pointer,
  31   38  or if the pointed-to object describes an initial conversion state; otherwise,
  32   39  it returns \fB0\fR.
  33      -.sp
  34   40  .LP
  35   41  If an \fBmbstate_t\fR object is altered by any of the functions described as
  36   42  "restartable", and is then used with a different character sequence, or in the
  37   43  other conversion direction, or with a different \fBLC_CTYPE\fR category setting
  38   44  than on earlier function calls, the behavior is undefined.  See
  39   45  \fBenviron\fR(5).
  40   46  .SH ERRORS
  41      -.sp
  42   47  .LP
  43   48  No errors are defined.
  44   49  .SH USAGE
  45      -.sp
  46   50  .LP
  47   51  The \fBmbstate_t\fR object is used to describe the current conversion state
  48   52  from a particular character sequence to a wide-character sequence (or vice
  49   53  versa) under the rules of a particular setting of the \fBLC_CTYPE\fR category
  50   54  of the current locale.
  51      -.sp
  52   55  .LP
  53   56  The initial conversion state corresponds, for a conversion in either direction,
  54   57  to the beginning of a new character sequence in the initial shift state.  A
  55   58  zero-valued \fBmbstate_t\fR object is at least one way to describe an initial
  56   59  conversion state.  A zero-valued \fBmbstate_t\fR object can be used to initiate
  57   60  conversion involving any character sequence, in any \fBLC_CTYPE\fR category
  58   61  setting.

  86      -The \fBmbsinit()\fR function can be used safely in multithreaded applications,
  87      -as long as \fBsetlocale\fR(3C) is not being called to change the locale.
