+.SH NAME
+btowc \- convert single byte to wide character
+.SH LIBRARY
+Standard C library

+.SH SYNOPSIS

+.B #include <wchar.h>
+.PP
+.BI "wint_t btowc(int " c );
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR btowc ()
+function converts \fIc\fP,
+interpreted as a multibyte sequence
+of length 1, starting in the initial shift state, to a wide character and
+returns it.
+If \fIc\fP is
+.B EOF
+or not a valid multibyte sequence of length 1,
+the
+.BR btowc ()
+function returns
+.BR WEOF .
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR btowc ()
+function returns the wide character
+converted from the single byte \fIc\fP.
+If \fIc\fP is
+.B EOF
+or not a valid multibyte sequence of length 1,
+it returns
+.BR WEOF .
+.SH ATTRIBUTES

+.SH HISTORY
+C99, POSIX.1-2001.
+.SH NOTES
+The behavior of
+.BR btowc ()
+depends on the
+.B LC_CTYPE
+category of the
+current locale.
+.PP
+This function should never be used.
+It does not work for encodings which have
+state, and unnecessarily treats single bytes differently from multibyte
+sequences.
+Use either
+.BR mbtowc (3)
+or the thread-safe
+.BR mbrtowc (3)
+instead.
