-.SH NAME
-wctomb \- convert a wide character to a multibyte sequence
-.SH LIBRARY
-Standard C library
-.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-.B #include <stdlib.h>
-.PP
-.BI "int wctomb(char *" s ", wchar_t " wc );
-.fi
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-If
-.I s
-is not NULL,
-the
-.BR wctomb ()
-function converts the wide character
-.I wc
-to its multibyte representation and stores it at the beginning of
-the character array pointed to by
-.IR s .
-It updates the shift state, which
-is stored in a static anonymous variable
-known only to the
-.BR wctomb ()
-function,
-and returns the length of said multibyte representation,
-that is, the number of
-bytes written at
-.IR s .
-.PP
-The programmer must ensure that there is
-room for at least
-.B MB_CUR_MAX
-bytes at
-.IR s .
-.PP
-If
-.I s
-is NULL, the
-.BR wctomb ()
-function
-.\" The Dinkumware doc and the Single UNIX specification say this, but
-.\" glibc doesn't implement this.
-resets the shift state, known only to this function,
-to the initial state, and
-returns nonzero if the encoding has nontrivial shift state,
-or zero if the encoding is stateless.
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-If
-.I s
-is not NULL, the
-.BR wctomb ()
-function
-returns the number of bytes
-that have been written to the byte array at
-.IR s .
-If
-.I wc
-can not be
-represented as a multibyte sequence (according
-to the current locale), \-1 is returned.
-.PP
-If
-.I s
-is NULL, the
-.BR wctomb ()
-function returns nonzero if the
-encoding has nontrivial shift state, or zero if the encoding is stateless.
