+.TH mbsrtowcs 3 2023-07-20 "Linux man-pages 6.05.01"
+.SH NAME
+mbsrtowcs \- convert a multibyte string to a wide-character string
+.SH LIBRARY
+Standard C library
+.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <wchar.h>
+.PP
+.BI "size_t mbsrtowcs(wchar_t " dest "[restrict ." len "], const char **restrict " src ,
+.BI "                 size_t " len ", mbstate_t *restrict " ps );
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+If
+.I dest
+is not NULL, the
+.BR mbsrtowcs ()
+function converts the
+multibyte string
+.I *src
+to a wide-character string starting at
+.IR dest .
+At most
+.I len
+wide characters are written to
+.IR dest .
+The shift state
+.I *ps
+is updated.
+The conversion is effectively performed by repeatedly
+calling
+.I "mbrtowc(dest, *src, n, ps)"
+where
+.I n
+is some
+positive number, as long as this call succeeds, and then incrementing
+.I dest
+by one and
+.I *src
+by the number of bytes consumed.
+The conversion can stop for three reasons:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+An invalid multibyte sequence has been encountered.
+In this case,
+.I *src
+is left pointing to the invalid multibyte sequence,
+.I (size_t)\ \-1
+is returned,
+and
+.I errno
+is set to
+.BR EILSEQ .
+.IP \[bu]
+.I len
+non-L\[aq]\e0\[aq] wide characters have been stored at
+.IR dest .
+In this case,
+.I *src
+is left pointing to the next
+multibyte sequence to be converted,
+and the number of wide characters written to
+.I dest
+is returned.
+.IP \[bu]
+The multibyte string has been completely converted, including the
+terminating null wide character (\[aq]\e0\[aq]), which has the side
+effect of bringing back
+.I *ps
+to the
+initial state.
+In this case,
+.I *src
+is set to NULL, and the number of wide
+characters written to
+.IR dest ,
+excluding the terminating null wide character, is returned.
+.PP
+If
+.I dest
+is NULL,
+.I len
+is ignored,
+and the conversion proceeds as above,
+except that the converted wide characters are not written out to memory,
+and that no length limit exists.
+.PP
+In both of the above cases,
+if
+.I ps
+is NULL, a static anonymous
+state known only to the
+.BR mbsrtowcs ()
+function is used instead.
+.PP
+The programmer must ensure that there is room for at least
+.I len
+wide
+characters at
+.IR dest .
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR mbsrtowcs ()
+function returns the number of wide characters that make
+up the converted part of the wide-character string, not including the
+terminating null wide character.
+If an invalid multibyte sequence was
+encountered,
+.I (size_t)\ \-1
+is returned, and
+.I errno
+set to
+.BR EILSEQ .

+The behavior of

+Passing NULL as
