 .SH NAME

 \fBint\fR \fBwctomb\fR(\fBchar *\fR\fIs\fR, \fBwchar_t\fR \fIwchar\fR);

+\fBint\fR \fBwctomb_l\fR(\fBchar *\fR\fIs\fR, \fBwchar_t\fR \fIwchar\fR, \fBlocale_t\fR \fIloc\fR);
+.fi
 .SH DESCRIPTION
-.sp
 .LP
 The \fBwctomb()\fR function determines the number of bytes needed to represent
 the character corresponding to the wide-character code whose value is
 \fIwchar\fR. It stores the character representation (possibly multiple bytes)
 in the array object pointed to by \fIs\fR (if \fIs\fR is not a null pointer).
 At most \fBMB_CUR_MAX\fR bytes are stored.
-.sp
 .LP
 A call with \fIs\fR as a null pointer causes this function to return \fB0\fR.
 The behavior of this function is affected by the \fBLC_CTYPE\fR category of the
 current locale.
-.sp
 .LP
 The function \fBwctomb_l()\fR behaves identically to \fBwctomb()\fR, except
-instead of operating in the current environemtn, it operates in the environment
+instead of operating in the current locale, it operates in the locale
 specified by \fIloc\fR.
 .SH RETURN VALUES
-.sp
 .LP
 If \fIs\fR is a null pointer, \fBwctomb()\fR returns \fB0\fR value. If \fIs\fR
 is not a null pointer, \fBwctomb()\fR returns \fB\(mi1\fR if the value of
 \fIwchar\fR does not correspond to a valid character, or returns the number of
 bytes that constitute the character corresponding to the value of \fIwchar\fR.
-.sp
 .LP
 In no case will the value returned be greater than the value of the
 \fBMB_CUR_MAX\fR macro.
 .SH ERRORS
-.sp
 .LP
 No errors are defined.
-.SH USAGE
-.sp
-.LP
-The \fBwctomb()\fR function can be used safely in a multithreaded application,
-as long as \fBsetlocale\fR(3C) is not being called to change the locale.
