vfwprintf(), vswprintf(), vwprintf()

These APIs are provided for printing wide-character formatted output of

a stdarg argument. They are similar to fwprintf (3C) except that instead

of being called with a variable number of arguments, they are called with

an argument list as deﬁned by <stdarg.h>.

wcrtomb()

wcrtomb() converts a wide-character to a multibyte character. It

determines the number of bytes needed to represent the character

corresponding to the wide-character code whose value is speciﬁed by the

second argument.

wcsrtombs()

wcsrtombs() converts a wide-character string to a character string.

Note that the behavior of this function is affected by the LC_CTYPE

category of the current locale.

wcsstr()

wcsstr() ﬁnds a substring in a wide-character string. Note that the

behavior of this function is affected by the LC_CTYPE category of the

current locale.

wctob()

wctob() converts wide-character to single-byte.

wctrans

wctrans() deﬁnes character mapping in the current locale. Note that

the values returned by wctrans() are valid until a call to setlocale()

that modiﬁes the category LC_CTYPE.

wmemchr(), wmemcmp(), wmemcpy(), wmemmove(), wmemset()

These APIs operate with wide-character in memory areas:

— wmemchr() ﬁnds a wide-character in a memory array.

— wmemcmp() compares wide-characters in memory.

— wmemcpy() copies wide-chracter in memory.

— wmemmove() copies wide-characters in memory with overlapping

areas.
