mbsinit3
Determine conversion object status
Usage
#include <wchar.h>
int
mbsinit(const mbstate_t *ps);
#include <wchar.h>
#include <xlocale.h>
int
mbsinit_l(const mbstate_t *ps, locale_t loc);
Library
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
Overview
The mbsinit() function determines whether the mbstate_t object pointed to by ps describes an initial conversion state.
While the mbsinit() function uses the current locale, the mbsinit_l() function may be passed a locale directly. See xlocale(3) for more information.
Return values
The mbsinit() function returns non-zero if ps is NULL or describes an initial conversion state; otherwise, it returns zero.
