  65   67  is assigned either a null pointer (if conversion stopped due to reaching a
  66   68  terminating null character) or the address just past the last character
  67   69  converted (if any).  If conversion stopped due to reaching a terminating null
  68   70  character, and if \fIdst\fR is not a null pointer, the resulting state
  69   71  described is the initial conversion state.

  92   91  .LP
  93   92  If the input conversion encounters a sequence of bytes that do not form a valid
  94      -character, an encoding error occurs.  In this case, the \fBmbsrtowcs()\fR
  95      -function stores the value of the macro \fBEILSEQ\fR in \fBerrno\fR and returns
  96      -\fB(size_t)\(mi1\fR; the conversion state is undefined.  Otherwise, it returns

       94 +functions store the value of the macro \fBEILSEQ\fR in \fBerrno\fR and return
