+.Sh NAME
+.Nm wcsrtombs
+.Nd "convert a wide-character string to a character string (restartable)"
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In wchar.h
+.Ft size_t
+.Fn wcsrtombs "char *restrict dst" "const wchar_t **restrict src" "size_t len" "mbstate_t *restrict ps"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn wcsrtombs
+function converts a string of wide characters indirectly pointed to by
+.Fa src
+to a corresponding multibyte character string stored in the array
+pointed to by
+.Fa dst .
+No more than
+.Fa len
+bytes are written to
+.Fa dst .
+.Pp
+If
+.Fa dst
+is
+.Dv NULL ,
+no characters are stored.
+.Pp
+If
+.Fa dst
+is not
+.Dv NULL ,
+the pointer pointed to by
+.Fa src
+is updated to point to the character after the one that conversion stopped at.
+If conversion stops because a null character is encountered,
+.No * Ns Fa src
+is set to
+.Dv NULL .
+.Pp
+The
+.Ft mbstate_t
+argument,
+.Fa ps ,
+is used to keep track of the shift state.
+If it is
+.Dv NULL ,
+.Fn wcsrtombs
+uses an internal, static
+.Ft mbstate_t
+object.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn wcsrtombs
+function returns the number of bytes stored in
+the array pointed to by
+.Fa dst
+(not including any terminating null), if successful, otherwise it returns
+.No ( Ns
+.Ft size_t Ns
+.No ) Ns -1 .
+.Sh ERRORS
+The
+.Fn wcsrtombs
+function will fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EILSEQ
+An invalid wide character was encountered.
+.El
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr mbsrtowcs 3 ,
+.Xr wcstombs 3 ,
+.Xr wcrtomb 3
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Fn wcsrtombs
+function conforms to
+.St -isoC-99 .
+.Sh BUGS
+The current implementation does not support shift states.
