mbstate_t

typedef ``o-type`` ``mbstate_t;``

The type is an object type o-type that can represent a conversion state for any of the functions mbrlen, mbrtowc, mbsrtowcs, wcrtomb, or wcsrtombs. A definition of the form:

mbstate_t mbst = {0};

ensures that mbst represents the initial conversion state. Note, however, that other values stored in an object of type mbstate_t can also represent this state. To test safely for this state, use the function mbsinit.
