WCTOB (3)
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 internationalized
programs. Internationalized programs must never distinguish single-byte and
multi-byte characters.
RETURN VALUE
The wctob function returns the single-byte representation of c,
if it exists, of EOF otherwise.

SEE ALSO
NOTES
The behaviour 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 multi-byte characters. Use the function
wctomb instead.
