+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn mbsrtowcs
+function converts a sequence of multibyte characters pointed to indirectly by
+.Fa src
+into a sequence of corresponding wide characters and stores at most
+.Fa len
+of them in the
+.Vt wchar_t
+array pointed to by
+.Fa dst ,
+until it encounters a terminating null character
+.Pq Li '\e0' .
+.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,
+.Fa *src
+is set to
+.Dv NULL .
+.Pp
+The
+.Vt mbstate_t
+argument,
+.Fa ps ,
+is used to keep track of the shift state.
+If it is
+.Dv NULL ,
+.Fn mbsrtowcs
+uses an internal, static
+.Vt mbstate_t
+object, which is initialized to the initial conversion state
+at program startup.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn mbsnrtowcs
+function behaves identically to
+.Fn mbsrtowcs ,
+except that conversion stops after reading at most
+.Fa nms
+bytes from the buffer pointed to by
+.Fa src .
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn mbsrtowcs
+and
+.Fn mbsnrtowcs
+functions return the number of wide characters stored in
+the array pointed to by
+.Fa dst
+if successful, otherwise it returns
+.Po Vt size_t Pc Ns \-1 .
+.Sh ERRORS
+The
+.Fn mbsrtowcs
+and
+.Fn mbsnrtowcs
+functions will fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EILSEQ
+An invalid multibyte character sequence was encountered.
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+The conversion state is invalid.

+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Fn mbsrtowcs
+function conforms to
+.St -isoC-99 .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn mbsnrtowcs
+function is an extension to the standard.
