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 +The +\fImbsrtowcs\fR() +function shall convert a sequence of characters, beginning in the +conversion state described by the object pointed to by +.IR ps , +from the array indirectly pointed to by +.IR src +into a sequence of corresponding wide characters. If +.IR dst +is not a null pointer, the converted characters shall be stored into +the array pointed to by +.IR dst . +Conversion continues up to and including a terminating null character, +which shall also be stored. Conversion shall stop early in either of +the following cases: +.IP " *" 4 +A sequence of bytes is encountered that does not form a valid character. +.IP " *" 4 +.IR len +codes have been stored into the array pointed to by +.IR dst +(and +.IR dst +is not a null pointer). +.P +Each conversion shall take place as if by a call to the +\fImbrtowc\fR() +function. +.P +If +.IR dst +is not a null pointer, the pointer object pointed to by +.IR src +shall be assigned either a null pointer (if conversion stopped due to +reaching a terminating null character) or the address just past the +last character converted (if any). If conversion stopped due to +reaching a terminating null character, and if +.IR dst +is not a null pointer, the resulting state described shall be the +initial conversion state. +.P +If +.IR ps +is a null pointer, the +\fImbsrtowcs\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. +.P +The +\fImbsnrtowcs\fR() +function shall be equivalent to the +\fImbsrtowcs\fR() +function, except that the conversion of characters indirectly +pointed to by +.IR src +is limited to at most +.IR nmc +bytes (the size of the input buffer), and under conditions where +\fImbsrtowcs\fR() +would assign the address just past the last character converted (if any) +to the pointer object pointed to by +.IR src , +\fImbsnrtowcs\fR() +shall instead assign the address just past the last byte processed +(if any) to that pointer object. If the input buffer ends with an +incomplete character, it is unspecified whether conversion stops at +the end of the previous character (if any), or at the end of the input +buffer. In the latter case, a subsequent call to +\fImbsnrtowcs\fR() +with an input buffer that starts with the remainder of the incomplete +character shall correctly complete the conversion of that character. +.P +The behavior of these functions shall be affected by the +.IR LC_CTYPE +category of the current locale. +.P +The implementation shall behave as if no function defined in this volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 +calls these functions. +.P +The +\fImbsnrtowcs\fR() +and +\fImbsrtowcs\fR() +functions need not be thread-safe if called with a NULL +.IR ps +argument. +.P +The +\fImbsrtowcs\fR() +function shall not change the setting of +.IR errno +if successful. +.SH "RETURN VALUE" +If the input conversion encounters a sequence of bytes that do not form +a valid character, an encoding error occurs. In this case, these +functions shall store the value of the macro +.BR [EILSEQ] +in +.IR errno +and shall return (\fBsize_t\fP)\-1; the conversion state is undefined. +Otherwise, these functions shall return the number of characters +successfully converted, not including the terminating null (if any). +.SH ERRORS +These functions shall 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. +.P +These functions may fail if: +.TP +.BR EINVAL +.IR ps +points to an object that contains an invalid conversion state. +.LP +.IR "The following sections are informative." +.SH EXAMPLES +None. +.SH "APPLICATION USAGE" +None. +.SH RATIONALE +None. +.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS" +A future version may require that when the input buffer ends with +an incomplete character, conversion stops at the end of the input buffer. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IR "\fIiconv\fR\^(\|)", +.IR "\fImbrtowc\fR\^(\|)", +.IR "\fImbsinit\fR\^(\|)" +.P +The Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017, +.IR "\fB<wchar.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.
