  21   29  .SH DESCRIPTION
  22      -.sp
  23   30  .LP
  24   31  If \fIs\fR is a null pointer, the \fBwcrtomb()\fR function is equivalent to the
  25   32  call:
  26      -.sp
       33 +.IP
       34 +\fBwcrtomb\fR(\fIbuf\fR, L'\e0', \fIps\fR);
  27   35  .LP
  28      -wcrtomb(buf, L'\e0', ps)
  29      -.sp
  30      -.LP
  31   36  where \fIbuf\fR is an internal buffer.
  32      -.sp
  33   37  .LP
  34   38  If \fIs\fR is not a null pointer, the \fBwcrtomb()\fR function determines the
  35   39  number of bytes needed to represent the character that corresponds to the
  36   40  wide-character given by \fIwc\fR (including any shift sequences), and stores
  37   41  the resulting bytes in the array whose first element is pointed to by \fIs\fR.
  38   42  At most \fBMB_CUR_MAX\fR bytes are stored.  If \fIwc\fR is a null
  39   43  wide-character, a null byte is stored, preceded by any shift sequence needed to
  40   44  restore the initial shift state. The resulting state described is the initial
  41   45  conversion state.
  42      -.sp
  43   46  .LP
  44   47  If \fIps\fR is a null pointer, the \fBwcrtomb()\fR function uses its own
  45   48  internal \fBmbstate_t\fR object, which is initialized at program startup to the
  46   49  initial conversion state.   Otherwise, the  \fBmbstate_t\fR object pointed to
  47   50  by \fIps\fR is used to completely describe the current conversion state of the
  48      -associated character sequence. Solaris will behave as if no function defined in
  49      -the Solaris Reference Manual calls \fBwcrtomb()\fR.
  50      -.sp
       51 +associated character sequence. The system will behave as if no function
       52 +defined in the Reference Manual calls \fBwcrtomb()\fR.
  51   53  .LP
  52      -The behavior of this function is affected by the \fBLC_CTYPE\fR category of the
  53      -current locale.  See \fBenviron\fR(5).
       54 +The behavior of \fBwcrtomb()\fR is affected by the \fBLC_CTYPE\fR category of the
       55 +current locale.  See \fBenviron\fR(5). The function \fBwcrtomb_l()\fR behaves
       56 +identically to \fBwcrtomb()\fR, except instead of operating in the current
       57 +locale, it operates in the locale specified by \fIloc\fR.
  54   58  .SH RETURN VALUES
  55      -.sp
  56   59  .LP
  57   60  The \fBwcrtomb()\fR function returns the number of bytes stored in the array
  58   61  object (including any shift sequences).  When \fIwc\fR is not a valid
  59   62  wide-character, an encoding error occurs.  In this case, the function stores
  60   63  the value of the macros \fBEILSEQ\fR in \fBerrno\fR and returns
  61   64  \fB(size_t)\(mi1\fR; the conversion state is undefined.
  62   65  .SH ERRORS
  63      -.sp
  64   66  .LP
  65   67  The \fBwcrtomb()\fR function may fail if:

  86      -.sp
  87      -.LP
  88      -If \fIps\fR is not a null pointer, \fBwcrtomb()\fR uses the \fBmbstate_t\fR
  89      -object pointed to by \fIps\fR and the function can be used safely in
  90      -multithreaded applications, as long as \fBsetlocale\fR(3C) is not being called
  91      -to change the locale. If \fIps\fR is a null pointer, \fBwcrtomb()\fR uses its
  92      -internal \fBmbstate_t\fR object and the function is Unsafe in multithreaded
  93      -applications.
