btowc 3C "24 Jul 2002" "SunOS 5.11" "Standard C Library Functions"
NAME
btowc - single-byte to wide-character conversion
SYNOPSIS

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

wint_t btowc(int c);
DESCRIPTION

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

The behavior of this function is affected by the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale. See environ(5).

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

NOTES

The btowc() function can be used safely in multithreaded applications, as long as setlocale(3C) is not being called to change the locale.
