NAME
       wctob - try to represent a wide character as a single byte

SYNOPSIS
       #include <wchar.h>

       int wctob(wint_t c);

DESCRIPTION
       The wctob() function tests whether the multi-byte representation of the
       wide character c, starting in the initial state, consists of  a	single
       byte. If so, it is returned as an unsigned char.

       Never  use  this function. It cannot help you in writing international‐
       ized programs. Internationalized programs must never  distinguish  sin‐
       gle-byte and multi-byte characters.

RETURN VALUE
       The wctob() function returns the single-byte representation of c, if it
       exists, of EOF otherwise.

CONFORMING TO
       C99.

SEE ALSO
       wctomb(3)

NOTES
       The behaviour of wctob() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of  the  cur‐
       rent locale.

       This  function  should  never  be used. Internationalized programs must
       never distinguish single-byte and multi-byte characters. Use the	 func‐
       tion wctomb() instead.
