-.SH NAME
-wcsrtombs \- convert a wide-character string to a multibyte string
-.SH LIBRARY
-Standard C library
-.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-.B #include <wchar.h>
-.P
-.BI "size_t wcsrtombs(char " dest "[restrict ." len "], \
-const wchar_t **restrict " src ,
-.BI " size_t " len ", mbstate_t *restrict " ps );
-.fi
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-If
-.I dest
-is not NULL,
-the
-.BR wcsrtombs ()
-function converts
-the wide-character string
-.I *src
-to a multibyte string starting at
-.IR dest .
-At most
-.I len
-bytes are written to
-.IR dest .
-The shift state
-.I *ps
-is updated.
-The conversion is effectively performed by repeatedly
-calling
-.IR "wcrtomb(dest, *src, ps)" ,
-as long as this call succeeds,
-and then incrementing
-.I dest
-by the
-number of bytes written and
-.I *src
-by one.
-The conversion can stop for three reasons:
-.IP \[bu] 3
-A wide character has been encountered that can not be represented as a
-multibyte sequence (according to the current locale).
-In this case,
-.I *src
-is left pointing to the invalid wide character,
-.I (size_t)\ \-1
-is returned,
-and
-.I errno
-is set to
-.BR EILSEQ .
-.IP \[bu]
-The length limit forces a stop.
-In this case,
-.I *src
-is left pointing
-to the next wide character to be converted,
-and the number of bytes written to
-.I dest
-is returned.
-.IP \[bu]
-The wide-character string has been completely converted, including the
-terminating null wide character (L\[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 bytes written to
-.IR dest ,
-excluding the terminating null byte (\[aq]\e0\[aq]),
-is returned.
-.P
-If
-.I dest
-is NULL,
-.I len
-is ignored,
-and the conversion proceeds as above, except that the converted bytes
-are not written out to memory, and that
-no length limit exists.
-.P
-In both of the above cases,
-if
-.I ps
-is NULL, a static anonymous
-state known only to the
-.BR wcsrtombs ()
-function is used instead.
-.P
-The programmer must ensure that there is room for at least
-.I len
-bytes
-at
-.IR dest .
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-The
-.BR wcsrtombs ()
-function returns
-the number of bytes that make up the
-converted part of multibyte sequence,
-not including the terminating null byte.
-If a wide character was encountered
-which could not be converted,
-.I (size_t)\ \-1
-is returned, and
-.I errno
-set to
-.BR EILSEQ .

-.SH STANDARDS

-.SH HISTORY
-POSIX.1-2001, C99.
-.SH NOTES
-The behavior of
-.BR wcsrtombs ()
-depends on the
-.B LC_CTYPE
-category of the
-current locale.
-.P
-Passing NULL as
-.I ps
-is not multithread safe.
