PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the  corresponding
       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
       btowc -- single byte to wide character conversion
SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdio.h>
       #include <wchar.h>
       wint_t btowc(int c);
DESCRIPTION
       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with  the
       ISO C  standard.  Any  conflict between the requirements described here
       and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This  volume  of  POSIX.1-2008
       defers to the ISO C standard.
       The  btowc()  function  shall  determine  whether c constitutes a valid
       (one-byte) character in the initial shift state.
       The behavior of this function shall be affected by the  LC_CTYPE  cate-
       gory of the current locale.
RETURN VALUE
       The  btowc()  function  shall  return WEOF if c has the value EOF or if
       (unsigned char) c does not constitute a valid (one-byte)  character  in
       the  initial shift state. Otherwise, it shall return the wide-character
       representation of that character.
