+.SH 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.

+.SH NAME
+wcrtomb
+\(em convert a wide-character code to a character (restartable)
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <wchar.h>
+.P
+size_t wcrtomb(char *restrict \fIs\fP, wchar_t \fIwc\fP, mbstate_t *restrict \fIps\fP);
+.fi
+.SH 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\(hy2008 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
+.P
+If
+.IR s
+is a null pointer, the
+\fIwcrtomb\fR()
+function shall be equivalent to the call:
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.nf
+\fB
+wcrtomb(\fIbuf\fP, L'\e0', \fIps\fP)
+.fi \fR
+.P
+.RE
+.P
+where
+.IR buf
+is an internal buffer.
+.P
+If
+.IR s
+is not a null pointer, the
+\fIwcrtomb\fR()
+function shall determine the number of bytes needed to represent the
+character that corresponds to the wide character given by
+.IR wc
+(including any shift sequences), and store the resulting bytes in the
+array whose first element is pointed to by
+.IR s .
+At most
+{MB_CUR_MAX}
+bytes are stored. If
+.IR wc
+is a null wide character, a null byte shall be stored, preceded by any
+shift sequence needed to restore the initial shift state. The resulting
+state described shall be the initial conversion state.
+.P
+If
+.IR ps
+is a null pointer, the
+\fIwcrtomb\fR()
+function shall use its own internal
+.BR mbstate_t
+object, which is initialized at program start-up to the initial
+conversion state. Otherwise, the
+.BR mbstate_t
+object pointed to by
+.IR ps
+shall be used to completely describe the current conversion state of
+the associated character sequence. The implementation shall behave as
+if no function defined in this volume of POSIX.1\(hy2008 calls
+\fIwcrtomb\fR().
+.P
+The
+\fIwcrtomb\fR()
+function need not be thread-safe if called with a NULL
+.IR ps
+argument.
+.P
+The behavior of this function shall be affected by the
+.IR LC_CTYPE
+category of the current locale.
+.P
+The
+\fIwcrtomb\fR()
+function shall not change the setting of
+.IR errno
+if successful.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+The
+\fIwcrtomb\fR()
+function shall return the number of bytes stored in the array object
+(including any shift sequences). When
+.IR wc
+is not a valid wide character, an encoding error shall occur. In this
+case, the function shall store the value of the macro
+.BR [EILSEQ]
+in
+.IR errno
+and shall return (\fBsize_t\fP)\(mi1; the conversion state shall be
+undefined.
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+\fIwcrtomb\fR()
+function shall fail if:
+.TP
+.BR EILSEQ
+An invalid wide-character code is detected.
+.P
+The
+\fIwcrtomb\fR()
+function may fail if:
+.TP
+.BR EINVAL
+.IR ps
+points to an object that contains an invalid conversion state.
