*ps, from the array whose first element is pointed to by *src to its wide character representation. If dst is not null, converted characters are stored in the successive elements of the wchar_t array pointed to by dst. No more than len wide characters are written to the destination array. Each multibyte character is converted as if by a call to mbrtowc. The conversion stops if: *src is set to null pointer value and *ps represents the initial shift state. *src is set to point at the beginning of the first unconverted multibyte character. len. *src is set to point at the beginning of the first unconverted multibyte character. This condition is not checked if dst is a null pointer.retval dst after len wide characters were written, then L'\0' is stored in dst[len], which means len+1 total wide characters are written dstsz src and dst overlap, the behavior is unspecified. retval, ps, src, or *src is a null pointer dstsz or len is greater than RSIZE_MAX/sizeof(wchar_t) (unless dst is null) dstsz is not zero (unless dst is null) dstsz multibyte characters in the *src array and len is greater than dstsz (unless dst is null) mbsrtowcs_s is only guaranteed to be available if __STDC_LIB_EXT1__ is defined by the implementation and if the user defines __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT1__ to the integer constant 1 before including <wchar.h>.| dst | - | pointer to wide character array where the results will be stored |
| src | - | pointer to pointer to the first element of a null-terminated multibyte string |
| len | - | number of wide characters available in the array pointed to by dst |
| ps | - | pointer to the conversion state object |
| dstsz | - | max number of wide characters that will be written (size of the dst array) |
| retval | - | pointer to a size_t object where the result will be stored |
L'\0', written to the character array. If dst is a null pointer, returns the number of wide characters that would have been written given unlimited length. On conversion error (if invalid multibyte character was encountered), returns (size_t)-1, stores EILSEQ in errno, and leaves *ps in unspecified state.dst, is stored in *retval), non-sero on error. In case of a runtime constraint violation, stores (size_t)-1 in *retval (unless retval is null) and sets dst[0] to L'\0' (unless dst is null or dstmax is zero or greater than RSIZE_MAX)#include <stdio.h>
