+.Sh NAME
+.Nm wcrtomb ,
+.Nm c16rtomb ,
+.Nm c32rtomb
+.Nd "convert a wide-character code to a character (restartable)"
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In wchar.h
+.Ft size_t
+.Fn wcrtomb "char * restrict s" "wchar_t c" "mbstate_t * restrict ps"
+.In uchar.h
+.Ft size_t
+.Fn c16rtomb "char * restrict s" "char16_t c" "mbstate_t * restrict ps"
+.Ft size_t
+.Fn c32rtomb "char * restrict s" "char32_t c" "mbstate_t * restrict ps"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn wcrtomb ,
+.Fn c16rtomb
+and
+.Fn c32rtomb
+functions store a multibyte sequence representing the
+wide character
+.Fa c ,
+including any necessary shift sequences, to the
+character array
+.Fa s ,
+storing a maximum of
+.Dv MB_CUR_MAX
+bytes.
+.Pp
+If
+.Fa s
+is
+.Dv NULL ,
+these functions behave as if
+.Fa s
+pointed to an internal buffer and
+.Fa c
+was a null wide character (L'\e0').
+.Pp
+The
+.Ft mbstate_t
+argument,
+.Fa ps ,
+is used to keep track of the shift state.
+If it is
+.Dv NULL ,
+these functions use an internal, static
+.Vt mbstate_t
+object, which is initialized to the initial conversion state
+at program startup.
+.Pp
+As certain multibyte characters may only be represented by a series of
+16-bit characters, the
+.Fn c16rtomb
+may need to invoked multiple times before a multibyte sequence is
+returned.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+These functions return the length (in bytes) of the multibyte sequence
+needed to represent
+.Fa c ,
+or
+.Po Vt size_t Pc Ns \-1
+if
+.Fa c
+is not a valid wide character code.
+.Sh ERRORS
+The
+.Fn wcrtomb ,
+.Fn c16rtomb
+and
+.Fn c32rtomb
+functions will fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EILSEQ
+An invalid wide character code was specified.
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+The conversion state is invalid.

+.Fn wcrtomb ,
+.Fn c16rtomb
+and
+.Fn c32rtomb
+functions conform to
+.St -isoC-2011 .
