.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn mbstowcs
|
|
|
|
|
converts a nul-terminated multibyte character string pointed to by
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
|
|
|
to the corresponding wide-character string and stores it in the array
|
|
|
|
|
pointed to by
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa pwcs .
|
|
|
|
|
This function may modify the first at most
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
|
|
|
elements of the array pointed to by
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa pwcs .
|
|
|
|
|
Each character will be converted as if
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr mbtowc 3
|
|
|
|
|
is continuously called, except the internal state of
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr mbtowc 3
|
|
|
|
|
will not be affected.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
For state-dependent encoding,
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn mbstowcs
|
|
|
|
|
implies the multibyte character string pointed to by
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
|
|
|
always begins with an initial state.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
These are the special cases:
|
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 012345678901
|
|
|
|
|
.It pwcs == NULL
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn mbstowcs
|
|
|
|
|
returns the number of elements to store the whole wide-character string
|
|
|
|
|
corresponding to the multibyte character string pointed to by
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa s .
|
|
|
|
|
In this case,
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
|
|
|
is ignored.
|
|
|
|
|
.It s == NULL
|
|
|
|
|
Undefined (may cause the program to crash).

|
|
|
|
Number of elements stored in the array pointed to by
