🌸 wcsnrtombs(3POSIX) 🌸

okay bestie, gather round, because we're reading a page from the POSIX Programmer's Manual and it's literally just wcsnrtombs 💅. Yes, the manual name is 3POSIX and yes, this is the whole vibe.

✨ PROLOG ✨

so like, before we even get into it, some housekeeping 🫶 — this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.

heads up bestie: the Linux implementation of this interface may differ (so pls go consult the corresponding Linux manual page for the deets on Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux at all. it's giving "check before you commit", fr fr 😭

💖 NAME 💖

wcsnrtombs — convert wide-character string to multi-byte string ✨

like... that's the whole job. wide chars in, multibyte out. iconic behavior honestly 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <wchar.h>

size_t wcsnrtombs(char *restrict dst, const wchar_t **restrict src,
    size_t nwc, size_t len, mbstate_t *restrict ps);

look at those restrict qualifiers. main character energy, no cap 🌈
