PROLOG

       This  manual  page  is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of
       this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux  manual  page  for  details  of
       Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

       wctob — wide-character to single-byte conversion

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stdio.h>
       #include <wchar.h>

       int wctob(wint_t c);

DESCRIPTION

       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any
       conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is  unintentional.
       This volume of POSIX.1‐2008 defers to the ISO C standard.

       The  wctob()  function  shall  determine whether c corresponds to a member of the extended
       character set whose character representation is a single byte when in  the  initial  shift
       state.

       The  behavior  of  this function shall be affected by the LC_CTYPE category of the current
       locale.

RETURN VALUE

       The wctob() function shall return EOF if c does not correspond to a character with  length
       one  in the initial shift state. Otherwise, it shall return the single-byte representation
       of that character as an unsigned char converted to int.
