What does “ provide, and where is it documented?

by

These were described in a WG21 paper from 2005 but the description is not present in the final standard. They are documented in ISO/IEC 19769:2004 (Extensions for the programming language C to support new character data types) (draft), which the C++11 standard refers to.

The text is too long to post here, but these are the signatures:

size_t mbrtoc16(char16_t * pc16, const char * s, size_t n, mbstate_t * ps);
size_t c16rtomb(char * s, char16_t c16, mbstate _t * ps);
size_t mbrtoc32(char32_t * pc32, const char * s, size_t n, mbstate_t * ps);
size_t c32rtomb(char * s, char32_t c32, mbstate_t * ps);

The functions convert between multibyte characters and UTF-16 or UTF-32 characters, respectively, similar to mbrtowc. There are no non-reentrant versions, and honestly, who needs them?
