#include <stdlib.h>
int wctomb(char *s, wchar_t wchar);
#include <locale.h>
int wctomb_l(char *s, wchar_t wchar, locale_t locale);
The wctomb() and wctomb_l() functions
convert wchar into a multibyte character and stores the
result, up to MB_CUR_MAX (or MB_CUR_MAX_L) bytes, in the array object pointed to
by s. The behavior of this function is affected by the
LC_CTYPE category for the current locale.
When wctomb() is called with s as a NULL
pointer, if the encoding has a state
dependency a non-zero value is returned and the function is
placed into its initial state, otherwise 0 is returned.
Subsequent calls with s as other than a NULL
pointer cause the internal state of the function to be altered as necessary.
Changing the LC_CTYPE category causes the shift state of this
function to be indeterminate.
wctomb_l() behaves in the same way as wctomb()
without the _l suffix, but uses the specified locale rather than the
global or per-thread locale. A locale_t is returned by newlocale().
- s
-
Is the address of the multibyte character.
- wchar
-
Is the wide character to convert.
- locale
-
Is a locale_t perhaps returned by newlocale() or
LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or 0 for the current thread locale set with uselocale().
The wctomb() and wctomb_l() function
returns the number of bytes, never greater than MB_CUR_MAX (or MB_CUR_MAX_L),
in the wide character wchar. If wchar is the
NULL character then wctomb() and wctomb_l() return
1. If the conversion of wchar is not possible in the
current locale, wctomb() and wctomb_l() return -1.
wctomb() conforms to ANSI/ISO 9899:1990 'ISO C90'
wctomb_l() conforms to ANSI/ISO 9899:1999 'ISO C99'
MT-Safe, with exceptions.
The function wctomb() is MT-Safe as long as no thread calls setlocale() while
this function is executing.
The function wctomb_l() is MT-Safe as long as no thread calls freelocale() on locale while this function is executing.
