If c is EOF or not a valid multibyte sequence of length 1, the btowc() function returns WEOF. RETURN VALUE The btowc() function returns the wide character converted from the sin- gle byte c. If c is EOF or not a valid multibyte sequence of length 1, it returns WEOF. CONFORMING TO C99, POSIX.1-2001. NOTES The behavior 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 either mbtowc(3) or the thread-safe mbr- towc(3) instead. SEE ALSO mbrtowc(3), mbtowc(3), wctob(3) COLOPHON This page is part of release 3.69 of the Linux man-pages project.
