mbchar(3W) (MLX Addendum)          (MLX)          mbchar(3W) (MLX Addendum)

NAME
     mbchar: mbtowc, wctomb, mblen - multibyte character conversion (MLX
     addendum)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <stdlib.h>

     int mbtowc(wchart *pwc, char *s, sizet n);

     int wctomb(char *s, wchart wchar);

     int mblen(char *s, sizet n);

DESCRIPTION
     All section 3W functions can conditionally support either
          typedef unsigned short wchart;
     or
          typedef long wchart;

     To use typedef long wchart it is only necessary to link with libw32:
          cc -c long.c
          cc -o long long.o -lw32

     To use typedef unsigned short wchart the standard definition in the
     header files must be disabled, a replacement definition supplied, and
     a symbolic constant defined to indicate that 16 bit wide characters
     are being used. The resulting object modules are linked with libw16:
          cc -c -D_WCHAR_T -Dwchar_t="unsigned long" -D_WCHAR16 ushort.c
          cc -o ushort ushort.o -lw16

     wchrtbl(1M), mbchar(3C), mbstring(3W).
