22 28 .SH DESCRIPTION
23 -.sp
24 29 .LP
25 30 If \fIs\fR is not a null pointer, \fBmbtowc()\fR determines the number of the
26 31 bytes that constitute the character pointed to by \fIs\fR. It then determines
27 32 the wide-character code for the value of type \fBwchar_t\fR that corresponds to
28 33 that character. (The value of the wide-character code corresponding to the null
29 34 byte is 0.) If the character is valid and \fIpwc\fR is not a null pointer,
30 35 \fBmbtowc()\fR stores the wide-character code in the object pointed to by
31 36 \fIpwc\fR.
32 -.sp
33 37 .LP
34 38 A call with \fIs\fR as a null pointer causes this function to return \fB0\fR.
35 39 The behavior of this function is affected by the \fBLC_CTYPE\fR category of the
36 40 current locale. At most \fIn\fR bytes of the array pointed to by \fIs\fR will
37 41 be examined.
38 -.sp
39 42 .LP
40 43 The function \fBmbtowc_l()\fR behaves identically to \fBmbtowc()\fR, except
41 44 instead of using the current locale, it uses the locale as specified by
42 45 \fIloc\fR.
43 46 .SH RETURN VALUES
44 -.sp
45 47 .LP
46 -If \fIs\fR is a null pointer, \fBmbtowc()\fR returns \fB0\fR. If \fIs\fR is not
47 -a null pointer, \fBmbtowc()\fR returns \fB0\fR (if \fIs\fR points to the null
48 +If \fIs\fR is a null pointer, these functions return \fB0\fR. If \fIs\fR is not
49 +a null pointer, they return \fB0\fR (if \fIs\fR points to the null
48 50 byte), the number of bytes that constitute the converted character (if the next
49 51 \fIn\fR or fewer bytes form a valid character), or \fB\(mi1\fR and may set
50 52 \fBerrno\fR to indicate the error (if they do not form a valid character).
51 -.sp
52 53 .LP
53 54 In no case will the value returned be greater than \fIn\fR or the value of the
54 55 \fBMB_CUR_MAX\fR macro.

71 -The \fBmbtowc()\fR function can be used safely in multithreaded applications,
