BTOWC(3P)                 POSIX Programmer's Manual                BTOWC(3P)

PROLOG         top

       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         top

       btowc — single byte to wide character conversion

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <stdio.h>
       #include <wchar.h>
       wint_t btowc(int c);

DESCRIPTION         top

       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
       category of the current locale.

RETURN VALUE         top

       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.
