Any conflict between the requirements described here and the +ISO\ C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 defers to the ISO\ C standard. +.P +If +.IR s +is not a null pointer, +\fImblen\fR() +shall determine the number of bytes constituting the character +pointed to by +.IR s . +Except that the shift state of +\fImbtowc\fR() +is not affected, it shall be equivalent to: +.sp +.RS 4 +.nf + +mbtowc((wchar_t *)0, \fIs\fP, \fIn\fP); +.fi +.P +.RE +.P +The implementation shall behave as if no function defined in this volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 +calls +\fImblen\fR(). +.P +The behavior of this function is affected by the +.IR LC_CTYPE +category of the current locale. For a state-dependent encoding, this +function shall be placed into its initial state by a call for which its +character pointer argument, +.IR s , +is a null pointer. Subsequent calls with +.IR s +as other than a null pointer shall cause the internal state of the +function to be altered as necessary. A call with +.IR s +as a null pointer shall cause this function to return a non-zero value +if encodings have state dependency, and 0 otherwise. If the +implementation employs special bytes to change the shift state, these +bytes shall not produce separate wide-character codes, but shall be +grouped with an adjacent character. Changing the +.IR LC_CTYPE +category causes the shift state of this function to be unspecified. +.P +The +\fImblen\fR() +function need not be thread-safe. +.SH "RETURN VALUE" +If +.IR s +is a null pointer, +\fImblen\fR() +shall return a non-zero or 0 value, if character encodings, +respectively, do or do not have state-dependent encodings. If +.IR s +is not a null pointer, +\fImblen\fR() +shall either return 0 (if +.IR s +points to the null byte), or return the number of bytes that +constitute the character (if the next +.IR n +or fewer bytes form a valid character), or return \-1 (if they do +not form a valid character) +and may set +.IR errno +to indicate the error. +In no case shall the value returned be greater than +.IR n +or the value of the +{MB_CUR_MAX} +macro. +.SH ERRORS +The +\fImblen\fR() +function may fail if: +.TP +.BR EILSEQ +An invalid character sequence is detected. In the POSIX locale an +.BR [EILSEQ] +error cannot occur since all byte values are valid characters. +.LP +.IR "The following sections are informative." +.SH EXAMPLES +None. +.SH "APPLICATION USAGE" +None. +.SH RATIONALE +None. +.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS" +None. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IR "\fImbtowc\fR\^(\|)", +.IR "\fImbstowcs\fR\^(\|)", +.IR "\fIwctomb\fR\^(\|)", +.IR "\fIwcstombs\fR\^(\|)" +.P +The Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017, +.IR "\fB<stdlib.h>\fP" +.\" +.SH COPYRIGHT +Portions of this text are reprinted and reproduced in electronic form +from IEEE Std 1003.1-2017, Standard for Information Technology +-- Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX), The Open Group Base +Specifications Issue 7, 2018 Edition, +Copyright (C) 2018 by the Institute of +Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc and The Open Group. +In the event of any discrepancy between this version and the original IEEE and +The Open Group Standard, the original IEEE and The Open Group Standard +is the referee document.
