MBSINIT(3)               BSD Library Functions Manual               MBSINIT(3)

NAME
     mbsinit, mbsinitl -- determine conversion object status

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     ##include <>

     int
     mbsinit(const mbstatet *ps);

     ##include <>

     int
     mbsinitl(const mbstatet *ps, localet loc);

DESCRIPTION
     The mbsinit() function determines whether the mbstatet object pointed to
     by ps describes an initial conversion state.

     While the mbsinit() function uses the current locale, the mbsinitl()
     function may be passed a locale directly. See xlocale(3) for more infor-
     mation.

RETURN VALUES
     The mbsinit() function returns non-zero if ps is NUL or describes an
     initial conversion state, otherwise it returns zero.
