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
wctob - wide-character to single-byte conversion
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>
int wctob(wint_t c);
DESCRIPTION
The wctob() function shall determine whether c corresponds to a member
of the extended character set whose character representation is a sin-
gle byte when 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 wctob() function shall return EOF if c does not correspond to a
character with length one in the initial shift state. Otherwise, it
shall return the single-byte representation of that character as an
unsigned char converted to int.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
