NAME

     btowc - convert single byte to wide character

SYNOPSIS

     #include <wchar.h>
     wint_t btowc(int c);

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.

RETURN VALUE

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

CONFORMING TO

     POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008, C99.

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 mbr-
     towc(3) instead.
