.SH DESCRIPTION
-.sp
.LP
The \fBbtowc()\fR and \fBbtowc_l\fR()functions determines whether
\fIc\fR constitutes a valid (one-byte) character in the initial shift
state.
-.sp
.LP
-The behavior of \fBbtowc\fR is affected by the \fBLC_CTYPE\fR category of the
-current locale. See \fBenviron\fR(5). The function \fBbtowc_l\fR does
-not use the current locale, and instead operates on the locale \fIloc\fR
-provided to the function, obtained through a call to
-\fBnewlocale\fR(3C).

.SH RETURN VALUES
-.sp
.LP
The \fBbtowc()\fR function returns \fBWEOF\fR if \fIc\fR has the value
\fBEOF\fR or if \fB(unsigned char)\fR\fIc\fR does not constitute a valid
(one-byte) character in the initial shift state. Otherwise, it returns the
wide-character representation of that character.

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