NAME

       btowc - single byte to wide character conversion

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stdio.h>
       #include <wchar.h>

       wint_t btowc(int c);

DESCRIPTION

       The  btowc()  function  shall  determine  whether c constitutes a valid
       (one-byte) character in the initial shift state.

       The behavior of  this  function  shall  be  affected  by  the  LC_CTYPE
       category of the current locale.

RETURN VALUE

       The  btowc()  function  shall  return WEOF if c has the value EOF or if
       (unsigned char) c does not constitute a valid (one-byte)  character  in
       the initial shift state.  Otherwise, it shall return the wide-character
       representation of that character.
