  25      -.sp
  26   34  .LP
  27   35  The \fBwcsrtombs()\fR function converts a sequence of wide-characters from the
  28   36  array indirectly pointed to by \fIsrc\fR into a sequence of corresponding
  29   37  characters, beginning in the conversion state described by the object pointed
  30   38  to by \fIps\fR. If \fIdst\fR is not a null pointer, the converted characters
  31   39  are then stored into the array pointed to by \fIdst\fR. Conversion continues up
  32   40  to and including a terminating null  wide-character, which is also stored.
  33   41  Conversion stops earlier in the following cases:

  38   46  When a code is reached that does not correspond to a valid character.

  43   51  .el o
  44   52  When the next character would exceed the limit of \fIlen\fR total bytes to be
  45   53  stored in the array pointed to by \fIdst\fR (and \fIdst\fR is not a null
  46   54  pointer).
  47   55  .RE
  48      -.sp
  49   56  .LP
  50   57  Each conversion takes place as if by a call to the \fBwcrtomb()\fR function.
  51      -.sp
  52   58  .LP
  53   59  If \fIdst\fR is not a null pointer, the pointer object pointed to by \fIsrc\fR
  54   60  is assigned either a null pointer (if conversion stopped due to reaching a
  55   61  terminating null wide-character) or the address just  past the last
  56   62  wide-character converted (if any). If conversion stopped due to reaching a
  57   63  terminating null wide-character, the resulting state described is the initial
  58   64  conversion state.
  59      -.sp
  60   65  .LP
  61   66  If \fIps\fR is a null pointer, the \fBwcsrtombs()\fR function uses its own
  62   67  internal \fBmbstate_t\fR object, which is initialized at program startup to the
  63   68  initial conversion state.  Otherwise, the  \fBmbstate_t\fR object pointed to by
  64   69  \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.

       71 +in the Reference Manual calls any of these functions.
  68   72  .LP
  69      -The behavior of this function is affected by the \fBLC_CTYPE\fR category of the
  70      -current locale.  See \fBenviron\fR(5).
       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.
  71   79  .SH RETURN VALUES
  72      -.sp
  73   80  .LP
  74   81  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
       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
  78   85  the number of bytes in the resulting character sequence, not including the
  79   86  terminating null (if any).
