wcstombs - convert wide character string to character string
&pagelevel(4)&pagelevel
Syntax | #include <stdlib.h> size_t wcstombs(char *s, const wchar_t *pwcs, size_t n); |
Description | wcstombs() converts a sequence of wchar_t values located in pwcs to the appropriate multi-byte characters and stores them in string s. n specifies the maximum number of bytes to be stored in s.
No characters consisting of multiple bytes are implemented in this version. Multi-byte characters always have a length of 1 byte, and wchar_t values are always of type long .
wcstombs() assigns each wchar_t value (of type long ) in pwcs to an area of 1-byte length in string s. The assignment terminates: on encountering the wchar_t value 0 in pwcs, when n bytes have been assigned or on encountering a wchar_t value that cannot be represented in 1 byte.

Return val. | Number of assigned bytes |
| upon successful conversion. |
(size_t)- 1
| if a wchar_t value cannot be converted to a multi-byte character. |
Notes | If a wchar_t value in pwcs cannot be converted to a multi-byte character, the wchar_t values already converted will be stored in s. The behavior is undefined if memory areas overlap. Restriction This version of the C runtime system only supports 1-byte characters as wide character codes. They are of type wchar_t (see stddef.h ). (End) |
