+.Sh NAME
+.Nm mbrtowc
+.Nd "convert a character to a wide-character code (restartable)"
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In wchar.h
+.Ft size_t
+.Fn mbrtowc "wchar_t *restrict pwc" "const char *restrict s" "size_t n" "mbstate_t *restrict ps"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn mbrtowc
+function inspects at most
+.Fa n
+bytes pointed to by
+.Fa s
+and interprets them as a multibyte character sequence
+according to the current setting of
+.Ev LC_CTYPE .
+If
+.Fa pwc
+is not
+.Dv NULL ,
+the multibyte character which
+.Fa s
+represents is stored in the
+.Ft wchar_t
+it points to.
+.Pp
+If
+.Fa s
+is
+.Dv NULL ,
+.Fn mbrtowc
+behaves as if
+.Fa pwc
+was
+.Dv NULL ,
+.Fa s
+was an empty string ("")
+and
+.Fa n
+was 1.
+.Pp
+The
+.Ft mbstate_t
+argument,
+.Fa ps ,
+is used to keep track of the shift state.
+If it is
+.Dv NULL ,
+.Fn mbrtowc
+uses an internal, static
+.Ft mbstate_t
+object.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn mbrtowc
+functions returns:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It 0
+The first
+.Fa n
+or fewer bytes of
+.Fa s
+represent the null wide character (L'\e0').
+.It >0
+The first
+.Fa n
+or fewer bytes of
+.Fa s
+represent a valid character,
+.Fn mbrtowc
+returns the length (in bytes) of the multibyte sequence.
+.It Xo
+.No ( Ns
+.Ft size_t Ns
+.No ) Ns \&-2
+.Xc
+The first
+.Fa n
+bytes of
+.Fa s
+are an incomplete multibyte sequence.
+.It Xo
+.No ( Ns
+.Ft size_t Ns
+.No ) Ns \&-1
+.Xc
+The byte sequence pointed to by
+.Fa s
+is an invalid multibyte sequence.
+.El
+.Sh ERRORS
+The
+.Fn mbrtowc
+function will fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.\".It Bq Er EINVAL
+.\"Invalid argument.
+.It Bq Er EILSEQ
+An invalid multibyte sequence was detected.
+.El
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr mbtowc 3 ,
+.Xr setlocale 3 ,
+.Xr wcrtomb 3
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Fn mbrtowc
+function conforms to
+.St -isoC-99 .
+.Sh BUGS
+The current implementation does not support shift states.
