NAME


       wctob - try to represent a wide character as a single byte

 

SYNOPSIS


       #include 

       int wctob(wint_t c);

 

DESCRIPTION






       The wctob() function tests whether the multi-byte representation of the
       wide character c, starting in the initial state, consists of  a  single
       byte.  If so, it is returned as an unsigned char.

       Never  use this function.  It cannot help you in writing international-
       ized programs.  Internationalized programs must never distinguish  sin-
       gle-byte and multi-byte characters.

 

RETURN VALUE


       The wctob() function returns the single-byte representation of c, if it
       exists, of EOF otherwise.

 

CONFORMING TO


       C99.

 

NOTES


       The behavior of wctob() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current
       locale.

       This  function  should  never be used.  Internationalized programs must
       never distinguish single-byte and multi-byte characters.  Use the func-
       tion wctomb(3) instead.
