If so, it is returned as an unsigned char. +.PP +Never use this function. It cannot help you in writing internationalized +programs. Internationalized programs must never distinguish single-byte and +multi-byte characters. +.SH "RETURN VALUE" +The \fBwctob\fP function returns the single-byte representation of \fIc\fP, +if it exists, of EOF otherwise. +.SH "CONFORMING TO" +ISO/ANSI C, UNIX98 +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR wctomb (3) +.SH NOTES +The behaviour of \fBwctob\fP depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the +current locale. +.PP +This function should never be used. Internationalized programs must never +distinguish single-byte and multi-byte characters. Use the function +\fBwctomb\fP instead. |
