wctob(wint_t wc);

The () function converts a wide character wc to a corresponding single byte character in the initial shift state of the current locale.

The behaviour of the () is affected by the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale.

The wctob() function returns:

if wc is WEOF or if wc does not correspond to a valid single byte character representation.
(otherwise)
a single byte character corresponding to wc.

No errors are defined.
