10 .TH WCSRTOMBS 3C "Nov 1, 2003"
11 .SH NAME
12 wcsrtombs \- convert a wide-character string to a character string
13 (restartable)
14 .SH SYNOPSIS
15 .LP
16 .nf
17 #include <wchar.h>
18
19 \fBsize_t\fR \fBwcsrtombs\fR(\fBchar *restrict\fR \fIdst\fR,

21 \fBmbstate_t *restrict\fR \fIps\fR);
22 .fi

24 .SH DESCRIPTION
25 .sp
26 .LP
27 The \fBwcsrtombs()\fR function converts a sequence of wide-characters from the
28 array indirectly pointed to by \fIsrc\fR into a sequence of corresponding
29 characters, beginning in the conversion state described by the object pointed
30 to by \fIps\fR. If \fIdst\fR is not a null pointer, the converted characters
31 are then stored into the array pointed to by \fIdst\fR. Conversion continues up
32 to and including a terminating null wide-character, which is also stored.
33 Conversion stops earlier in the following cases:
34 .RS +4
35 .TP
36 .ie t \(bu
37 .el o
38 When a code is reached that does not correspond to a valid character.
39 .RE
40 .RS +4
41 .TP
42 .ie t \(bu
43 .el o
44 When the next character would exceed the limit of \fIlen\fR total bytes to be
45 stored in the array pointed to by \fIdst\fR (and \fIdst\fR is not a null
46 pointer).
47 .RE
48 .sp
49 .LP
50 Each conversion takes place as if by a call to the \fBwcrtomb()\fR function.
51 .sp
52 .LP
53 If \fIdst\fR is not a null pointer, the pointer object pointed to by \fIsrc\fR
54 is assigned either a null pointer (if conversion stopped due to reaching a
55 terminating null wide-character) or the address just past the last
56 wide-character converted (if any). If conversion stopped due to reaching a
57 terminating null wide-character, the resulting state described is the initial
58 conversion state.
59 .sp
60 .LP
61 If \fIps\fR is a null pointer, the \fBwcsrtombs()\fR function uses its own
62 internal \fBmbstate_t\fR object, which is initialized at program startup to the
63 initial conversion state. Otherwise, the \fBmbstate_t\fR object pointed to by
64 \fIps\fR is used to completely describe the current conversion state of the
65 associated character sequence. Solaris will behave as if no function defined in
66 the Solaris Reference Manual calls \fBwcsrtombs()\fR.
67 .sp
68 .LP
69 The behavior of this function is affected by the \fBLC_CTYPE\fR category of the
70 current locale. See \fBenviron\fR(5).
71 .SH RETURN VALUES
72 .sp
73 .LP
74 If conversion stops because a code is reached that does not correspond to a
75 valid character, an encoding error occurs. In this case, the \fBwcsrtombs()\fR
76 function stores the value of the macro \fBEILSEQ\fR in \fBerrno\fR and returns
77 \fB(size_t)\(mi1\fR; the conversion state is undefined. Otherwise, it returns
78 the number of bytes in the resulting character sequence, not including the
79 terminating null (if any).
80 .SH ERRORS
81 .sp
82 .LP
83 The \fBwcsrtombs()\fR function may fail if:
84 .sp
85 .ne 2
86 .na
87 \fB\fBEINVAL\fR\fR
88 .ad
89 .RS 10n
90 The \fIps\fR argument points to an object that contains an invalid conversion
91 state.
92 .RE
93
94 .sp
95 .ne 2
96 .na
97 \fB\fBEILSEQ\fR\fR
98 .ad
99 .RS 10n
100 A wide-character code does not correspond to a valid character.
101 .RE
102
103 .SH USAGE
104 .sp
105 .LP
106 If \fIps\fR is not a null pointer, \fBwcsrtombs()\fR uses the \fBmbstate_t\fR
107 object pointed to by \fIps\fR and the function can be used safely in
108 multithreaded applications, as long as \fBsetlocale\fR(3C) is not being called
109 to change the locale. If \fIps\fR is a null pointer, \fBwcsrtombs()\fR uses its
110 internal \fBmbstate_t\fR object and the function is Unsafe in multithreaded
111 applications.

33 .SH DESCRIPTION
34 .LP
35 The \fBwcsrtombs()\fR function converts a sequence of wide-characters from the
36 array indirectly pointed to by \fIsrc\fR into a sequence of corresponding
37 characters, beginning in the conversion state described by the object pointed
38 to by \fIps\fR. If \fIdst\fR is not a null pointer, the converted characters
39 are then stored into the array pointed to by \fIdst\fR. Conversion continues up
40 to and including a terminating null wide-character, which is also stored.
41 Conversion stops earlier in the following cases:
42 .RS +4
43 .TP
44 .ie t \(bu
45 .el o
46 When a code is reached that does not correspond to a valid character.
47 .RE
48 .RS +4
49 .TP
50 .ie t \(bu
51 .el o
52 When the next character would exceed the limit of \fIlen\fR total bytes to be
53 stored in the array pointed to by \fIdst\fR (and \fIdst\fR is not a null
54 pointer).
55 .RE
56 .LP
57 Each conversion takes place as if by a call to the \fBwcrtomb()\fR function.
58 .LP
59 If \fIdst\fR is not a null pointer, the pointer object pointed to by \fIsrc\fR
60 is assigned either a null pointer (if conversion stopped due to reaching a
61 terminating null wide-character) or the address just past the last
62 wide-character converted (if any). If conversion stopped due to reaching a
63 terminating null wide-character, the resulting state described is the initial
64 conversion state.
65 .LP
66 If \fIps\fR is a null pointer, the \fBwcsrtombs()\fR function uses its own
67 internal \fBmbstate_t\fR object, which is initialized at program startup to the
68 initial conversion state. Otherwise, the \fBmbstate_t\fR object pointed to by
69 \fIps\fR is used to completely describe the current conversion state of the
70 associated character sequence. The system will behave as if no function defined
71 in the Reference Manual calls any of these functions.
72 .LP
73 The behavior of \fBwcsrtombs()\fR is affected by the \fBLC_CTYPE\fR category of
74 the current locale. See \fBenviron\fR(5).
75 .LP
76 The function \fBwcsrtombs_l()\fR behaves identically to \fBwcsrtombs\fR, except
77 instead of operating in the current locale, it operates in the locale
78 specified by \fIloc\fR.
79 .SH RETURN VALUES
80 .LP
81 If conversion stops because a code is reached that does not correspond to a
82 valid character, an encoding error occurs. In this case, these
83 functions store the value of the macro \fBEILSEQ\fR in \fBerrno\fR and return
84 \fB(size_t)\(mi1\fR; the conversion state is undefined. Otherwise, they return
85 the number of bytes in the resulting character sequence, not including the
86 terminating null (if any).
