BTOWC 3C "Jun 27, 2014"
NAME
btowc, btowc_l - single-byte to wide-character conversion
SYNOPSIS

#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>

wint_t btowc(int c);

#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>
#include <xlocale.h>

wint_t btowc_l(int c, locale_t loc);
DESCRIPTION

The btowc() and btowc_l()functions determines whether c constitutes a valid (one-byte) character in the initial shift state.

The behavior of btowc() is affected by the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale. See environ(5). The function btowc_l() does not use the current locale, and instead operates on the locale specified by loc.

RETURN VALUES

The btowc() function returns 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 returns the wide-character representation of that character.

ERRORS

No errors are defined.

ATTRIBUTES

See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
