wcsnrtombs(3) Library Functions Manual wcsnrtombs(3) wcsnrtombs - C (libc, -lc) #include size_t wcsnrtombs(size_t dsize; char dest[restrict dsize], const wchar_t **restrict src, size_t nwc, size_t dsize, mbstate_t *restrict ps); glibc (. feature_test_macros(7)): wcsnrtombs(): glibc 2.10: _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L glibc 2.10: _BSD_SOURCE wcsnrtombs() wcsrtombs(3), , , *src, nwc. If dest is not NULL, the wcsnrtombs() function converts at most nwc wide characters from the wide-character string *src to a multibyte string starting at dest. At most dsize bytes are written to dest. The shift state *ps is updated. The conversion is effectively performed by repeatedly calling wcrtomb(dest, *src, ps), as long as this call succeeds, and then incrementing dest by the number of bytes written and *src by one. The conversion can stop for three reasons: o ( ). *src , (size_t) -1, errno EILSEQ. o nwc wide characters have been converted without encountering a null wide character (L'\0'), or the size limit forces a stop. In this case, *src is left pointing to the next wide character to be converted, and the number of bytes written to dest is returned. o The wide-character string has been completely converted, including the terminating null wide character (which has the side effect of bringing back *ps to the initial state). In this case, *src is set to NULL, and the number of bytes written to dest, excluding the terminating null byte ('\0'), is returned. If dest is NULL, dsize is ignored, and the conversion proceeds as above, except that the converted bytes are not written out to memory, and that no destination size limit exists. , ps NULL, , wcsnrtombs(). The programmer must ensure that there is room for at least dsize bytes at dest. wcsrntombs() , null. , , (size_t) -1 errno EILSEQ. attributes(7). +----------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------+ | | | | +----------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------+ |wcsnrtombs() | | MT-Unsafe | | | | race:wcsnrtombs/!ps | +----------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------+ POSIX.1-2008. wcsnrtombs() LC_CTYPE .
