  22      -.sp
  23   30  .LP
  24   31  If \fIs\fR is not a null pointer, \fBmbtowc()\fR determines the number of the
  25   32  bytes that constitute the character pointed to by \fIs\fR. It then determines
  26   33  the wide-character code for the value of type \fBwchar_t\fR that corresponds to
  27   34  that character. (The value of the wide-character code corresponding to the null
  28   35  byte is 0.) If the character is valid and \fIpwc\fR is not a null pointer,
  29   36  \fBmbtowc()\fR stores the wide-character code in the object pointed to by
  30   37  \fIpwc\fR.
  31      -.sp
  32   38  .LP
  33   39  A call with \fIs\fR as a null pointer causes this function to return \fB0\fR.
  34   40  The behavior of this function is affected by the \fBLC_CTYPE\fR category of the
  35   41  current locale. At most \fIn\fR bytes of the array pointed to by \fIs\fR will
  36   42  be examined.
       43 +.LP
       44 +The function \fBmbtowc_l()\fR behaves identically to \fBmbtowc()\fR, except
       45 +instead of using the current locale, it uses the locale as specified by
       46 +\fIloc\fR.

  40      -If \fIs\fR is a null pointer, \fBmbtowc()\fR returns \fB0\fR. If \fIs\fR is not
  41      -a null pointer, \fBmbtowc()\fR returns \fB0\fR (if \fIs\fR points to the null
       49 +If \fIs\fR is a null pointer, these functions return \fB0\fR. If \fIs\fR is not
       50 +a null pointer, they return \fB0\fR (if \fIs\fR points to the null
  42   51  byte), the number of bytes that constitute the converted character (if the next
  43   52  \fIn\fR or fewer bytes form a valid character), or  \fB\(mi1\fR and may set
  44   53  \fBerrno\fR to indicate the error (if they do not form a valid character).
  45      -.sp
  46   54  .LP
  47   55  In no case will the value returned be greater than \fIn\fR or the value of the
  48   56  \fBMB_CUR_MAX\fR macro.
