Multibyte to Wide Character Conversion Function
int mbtowc(wchar_t *wchar, const char *mbchar, size_t count);
Internationalization (I18n) Function Overview
The mbtowc function converts up to count bytes pointed to by mbchar
into a wide character, and stores the result in wchar. If successful, mbtowc returns the
length in bytes of the multibyte character; otherwise, it returns 0 if
mbchar is NULL or points to a null wide character (L'\0'), or -1
if mbchar points to an invalid multibyte character within the first count characters.
I18n Issues
Prior to calling mbtowc, ensure that the current locale is set correctly.
