BTOWC
NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION RETURN VALUE CONFORMING TO SEE ALSO NOTES
btowc - convert single byte to wide character
#include c);
The btowc function converts c, interpreted as a multibyte sequence of length 1, starting in the initial shift state, to a wide character and returns it. If c is EOF or not a valid multibyte sequence of length 1, the btowc function returns WEOF.
The btowc function returns the wide character converted from the single byte c. If c is EOF or not a valid multibyte sequence of length 1, it returns WEOF.
ISO/ANSI C, UNIX98
The behaviour of btowc depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale.
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 the function mbtowc instead.
