This patch imports the unmodified current version of NetBSD libc. The NetBSD includes are in /nbsd_include, while the libc code itself is split between lib/nbsd_libc and common/lib/libc.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn wcsrtombs
|
|
converts the nul-terminated wide-character string indirectly pointed
|
|
to by
|
|
.Fa pwcs
|
|
to the corresponding multibyte character string,
|
|
and stores it in the array pointed to by
|
|
.Fa s .
|
|
The conversion stops due to the following reasons:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
The conversion reaches a nul wide character.
|
|
In this case, the nul wide character is also converted.
|
|
.It
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn wcsrtombs
|
|
has already stored
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
bytes in the array pointed to by
|
|
.Fa s .
|
|
.It
|
|
The conversion encounters an invalid character.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each character will be converted as if
|
|
.Xr wcrtomb 3
|
|
is continuously called, except the internal state of
|
|
.Xr wcrtomb 3
|
|
will not be affected.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After conversion,
|
|
if
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
is not a null pointer, the pointer object pointed to by
|
|
.Fa pwcs
|
|
is a null pointer (if the conversion is stopped due to reaching a
|
|
nul wide character) or the first byte of the character just after
|
|
the last character converted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
is not a null pointer and the conversion is stopped due to reaching
|
|
a nul wide character,
|
|
.Fn wcsrtombs
|
|
places the state object pointed to by
|
|
.Fa ps
|
|
to an initial state after the conversion is taken place.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The behaviour of
|
|
.Fn wcsrtombs
|
|
is affected by the
|
|
.Dv LC_CTYPE
|
|
category of the current locale.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
These are the special cases:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 012345678901
|
|
.It "s == NULL"
|
|
.Fn wcsrtombs
|
|
returns the number of bytes to store the whole multibyte character string
|
|
corresponding to the wide-character string pointed to by
|
|
.Fa pwcs ,
|
|
not including the terminating nul byte.
|
|
In this case,
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
is ignored.
|
|
.It "pwcs == NULL || *pwcs == NULL"
|
|
Undefined (may cause the program to crash).
|
|
.It "ps == NULL"
|
|
.Fn wcsrtombs
|
|
uses its own internal state object to keep the conversion state,
|
|
instead of
|
|
.Fa ps
|
|
mentioned in this manual page.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Calling any other functions in
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
never changes the internal
|
|
state of
|
|
.Fn wcsrtombs ,
|
|
which is initialized at startup time of the program.
|
|
.El
|
|

|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Fn wcsrtombs
|
|
returns:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 012345678901
|
|
.It 0 or positive
|
|
Number of bytes stored in the array pointed to by
|
|
.Fa s ,
|
|
except for a nul byte.
|
|
There are no cases that the value returned is greater than
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
(unless
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
is a null pointer).
|
|
If the return value is equal to
|
|
.Fa n ,
|
|
the string pointed to by
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
will not be nul-terminated.
|
|
.It (size_t)-1
|
|
.Fa pwcs
|
|
points to a string containing an invalid wide character.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn wcsrtombs
|
|
also sets
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
to indicate the error.
