.Sh SYNOPSIS
.
.In uchar.h

.Ft size_t
.Fo c16rtomb
.Fa "char * restrict s"
.Fa "char16_t c16"

.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
function decodes UTF-16 and converts it to multibyte characters in the
current locale, keeping state to remember incremental progress if
restarted.
.Pp
Each call to
.Nm
updates the conversion state
.Fa ps
with a UTF-16 code unit
.Fa c16 ,
writes up to
.Dv MB_CUR_MAX
bytes to
.Fa s
(possibly none), and returns either the number of bytes written to
.Fa s
or
.Li (size_t)-1
to denote error.
.Pp
If
.Fa s
is a null pointer,
no output is produced and
.Fa ps
is reset to the initial conversion state, as if the call had been
.Fo c8rtomb
.Va buf ,
.Li 0 ,
.Fa ps
.Fc
for some internal buffer
.Va buf .
.Pp
If
.Fa c16
is zero,
.Nm
discards any pending incomplete UTF-16 code unit sequence in
.Fa ps ,
outputs a (possibly empty) shift sequence to restore the initial state
followed by a NUL byte, and resets
.Fa ps
to the initial conversion state.
.Pp
If
.Fa ps
is a null pointer,
.Nm
uses an internal
.Vt mbstate_t
object with static storage duration, distinct from all other
.Vt mbstate_t
objects
.Po
including those used by other functions such as
.Xr mbrtoc16 3
.Pc ,
which is initialized at program startup to the initial conversion
state.
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The
.Nm
function returns the number of bytes written to
.Fa s
on success, or sets
.Xr errno 2
and returns
.Li "(size_t)-1"
on failure.
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.Sh EXAMPLES
Convert a UTF-16 code unit sequence to a multibyte string,
NUL-terminate it (with any shift sequence needed to restore the initial
state), and print it:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
char16_t c16[] = { 0xd83d, 0xdca9 };
char buf[(__arraycount(c16) + 1)*MB_LEN_MAX], *s = buf;
size_t i;
mbstate_t mbs = {0}; /* initial conversion state */
for (i = 0; i < __arraycount(c16); i++) {
size_t len;
len = c16rtomb(s, c16[i], &mbs);
if (len == (size_t)-1)
err(1, "c16rtomb");
assert(len < sizeof(buf) - (s - buf));
s += len;
}
len = c16rtomb(s, 0, &mbs); /* NUL-terminate */
if (len == (size_t)-1)
err(1, "c16rtomb");
assert(len <= sizeof(buf) - (s - buf));
printf("%s\en", buf);
.Ed
.Pp
To avoid a variable-length array, this code uses
.Dv MB_LEN_MAX ,
which is a constant upper bound on the locale-dependent
.Dv MB_CUR_MAX .
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.Sh ERRORS
.Bl -tag -width Bq
.It Bq Er EILSEQ
.Fa c16
is invalid as the next code unit in the conversion state
.Fa ps .
.It Bq Er EILSEQ
The input cannot be encoded as a multibyte sequence in the current
locale.
.It Bq Er EIO
An error occurred in loading the locale's character conversions.

.Sh STANDARDS
The
.Nm
function conforms to
.St -isoC-2011 .
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.Sh HISTORY
The
.Nm
function first appeared in
.Nx 11.0 .
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.Sh BUGS
The standard requires that passing zero as
.Fa c16
unconditionally reset the conversion state and output a NUL byte:
.Bd -filled -offset indent
If
.Fa c16
is a null wide character, a null byte is stored, preceded by any shift
sequence needed to restore the initial shift state; the resulting state
described is the initial conversion state.
.Ed
.Pp
However, some implementations such as
.Fx 14.0 ,
.Ox 7.4 ,
and glibc 2.36 ignore this clause and, if the zero was preceded by an
incomplete UTF-16 code unit sequence, fail with
.Er EILSEQ
instead.
