<cwchar>

wctob

int wctob (wint_t wc);
Convert wide character to single byte
Returns the single-byte representation of the wide character wc if (and only if) wc corresponds to a multibyte character with a length of a single byte in the initial state of a multibyte sequence.

Otherwise, it returns EOF.

Parameters

wc
The wint_t promotion of a wide character.
The value is internally converted to a wchar_t to be interpreted.

Return Value

If wc translates to a single-byte character in the initial shift state of a multibyte sequence, the function returns its representation as an unsigned char (promoted to a value of type int).
Otherwise, it returns EOF.

/* wctob example */
#include <wchar.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  int i,num;
  const wchar_t wcs [] = L"wctob example";

  num=0;
  for (i=0; i<wcslen(wcs); ++i)
    if (wctob(wcs[i]) != EOF) ++num;

  wprintf (L"wcs contains %d characters that translate to single-byte characters.",num);

  return 0;
}


Output:
wcs contains 14 characters that translate to single-byte characters.
