wctomb
[minimal wide char to multibyte converter]

SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
int wctomb(char * s, wchar_t wchar);

DESCRIPTION
This is a minimal ANSI-conforming implementation of wctomb. The only “wide characters” recognized are single bytes, and they are converted” to themselves.

Each call to wctomb copies the character, wchar, to *s, unless s is a null pointer.

RETURNS
This implementation of wctomb returns 0 if s is NULL; it returns 1 otherwise (reporting the length of the character sequence generated).

COMPLIANCE
wctomb is required in the ANSI C standard. However, the precise effects vary with the locale.

wctomb requires no supporting OS subroutines.
