Description

       The btowc() function converts c, interpreted as a multibyte sequence of length 1, starting in the initial
       shift state, to a wide character and returns it.  If c is EOF or not a valid multibyte sequence of length
       1, the btowc() function returns WEOF.

History

       C99, POSIX.1-2001.

Library

       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

Name

       btowc - convert single byte to wide character

Notes

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

       This function should never be used.  It does not work for encodings which have state,  and  unnecessarily
       treats  single  bytes  differently  from  multibyte  sequences.   Use either mbtowc(3) or the thread-safe
       mbrtowc(3) instead.

Return Value

       The  btowc()  function returns the wide character converted from the single byte c.  If c is EOF or not a
       valid multibyte sequence of length 1, it returns WEOF.
