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 multibyte 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 multibyte characters.

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

ATTRIBUTES
       For  an	explanation  of	 the  terms  used   in	 this	section,   see
       attributes(7).

CONFORMING TO
       POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008, C99.

NOTES
       The behavior of wctob() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current
       locale.

       This function should never be used.   Internationalized	programs  must
       never  distinguish  single-byte	and  multibyte characters.  Use either
       wctomb(3) or the thread-safe wcrtomb(3) instead.
