+.\" ----------------------------------------------------------------------
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn wcsrtombs
+function converts the wide-character string indirectly pointed to by
+.Fa src
+to the corresponding multibyte character string
+and stores it to the array pointed to by
+.Fa dst .
+The conversion stops due to the following reasons:
+.Bl -bullet
+.It
+The conversion reaches a null wide character.
+In this case, the null wide character is also converted.
+.It
+The conversion has already stored
+.Fa len
+bytes to the array pointed to by
+.Fa dst .
+.It
+The conversion encounters an invalid character.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn wcsnrtombs
+function is equivalent to
+.Fn wcsrtombs
+except that it additionally stops the conversion after processing
+.Fa nwc
+wide characters.
+.Pp
+Each character will be converted as if
+.Xr wcrtomb 3
+is continuously called, except the internal state of
+.Xr wcrtomb 3
+will not be affected.
+.Pp
+After conversion,
+if
+.Fa dst
+is not a null pointer,
+the pointer object pointed to by
+.Fa src
+is a null pointer (if the conversion is stopped due to reaching a null wide character)
+or the address just past the last wide character processed.
+.Pp
+If
+.Fa dst
+is not a null pointer and the conversion is stopped due to reaching
+a null wide character,
+the state object pointed to by
+.Fa ps
+is set to an initial state after the conversion has taken place.
+.Pp
+The behaviour of the
+.Fn wcsrtombs
+and
+.Fn wcsnrtombs
+functions is affected by the
+.Dv LC_CTYPE
+category of the current locale.
+.Pp
+There are two special cases:
+.Bl -tag -width 012345678901
+.It "dst == NULL"
+The conversion takes place, but the resulting multibyte string is discarded.
+In this case, the pointer object pointed to by
+.Fa src
+is not modified and
+.Fa len
+is ignored.
+.It "ps == NULL"
+The
+.Fn wcsrtombs
+and
+.Fn wcsnrtombs
+functions use their own internal state objects to keep the conversion state,
+instead of
+.Fa ps
+as mentioned in this manual page.
+.Pp
+Calling any other functions in
+.Em libc
+never change these internal states,
+which are initialized at startup time of the program.
+.El
+.\" ----------------------------------------------------------------------
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn wcsrtombs
+and
+.Fn wcsnrtombs
+functions return:
+.Bl -tag -width 012345678901
+.It 0 or positive
+Number of bytes stored to the array pointed to by
+.Fa dst ,
+except for a null byte.
+There is no cases that the value returned is greater than
+.Fa len
+(unless
+.Fa dst
+is a null pointer).
+If the return value is equal to
+.Fa len ,
+the string pointed to by
+.Fa dst
+will not be null-terminated.
+.It (size_t)-1
+.Fa src
+points to the string containing invalid wide character.
+In this case,
+.Va errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.El

+.Sh ERRORS
+The
+.Fn wcsrtombs
+and

+functions may return the following errors:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EILSEQ
+.Fa src
+points to the string containing an invalid wide character.
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+.Fa ps
+points to an invalid or uninitialized mbstate_t object.
