Wide to Multibyte Character Conversion Function

size_t wcrtomb(char *s, wchar_t wc, mbstate_t *ps);

Internationalization (I18n) Function Overview

The wcrtomb function converts the wide-character wc to a multibyte string and stores the result in s, if s is not NULL. It uses the mbstate_t ps to track the state of the conversion and returns the number of bytes successfully converted, not including the terminating null byte; else (size_t)-1 in the event of an error.

If s is a null pointer, wcrtomb resets the state stored in ps to the initial state.

I18n Issues
