<h4><a name="tag_03_361_03"></a>DESCRIPTION</h4>

border="0"> The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO&nbsp;C standard. Any conflict between the
requirements described here and the ISO&nbsp;C standard is unintentional. This volume of IEEE&nbsp;Std&nbsp;1003.1-2001 defers to
the ISO&nbsp;C standard. <img src="../images/opt-end.gif" alt="[Option End]" border="0"></div>
<p>If <i>ps</i> is not a null pointer, the <i>mbsinit</i>() function shall determine whether the object pointed to by <i>ps</i>
describes an initial conversion state.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_361_04"></a>RETURN VALUE</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>The <i>mbsinit</i>() function shall return non-zero if <i>ps</i> is a null pointer, or if the pointed-to object describes an
initial conversion state; otherwise, it shall return zero.</p>
<p>If an <b>mbstate_t</b> object is altered by any of the functions described as &quot;restartable&quot;, and is then used with a different
character sequence, or in the other conversion direction, or with a different <i>LC_CTYPE</i> category setting than on earlier
function calls, the behavior is undefined.</p>

<p>None.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_361_07"></a>APPLICATION USAGE</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>The <b>mbstate_t</b> object is used to describe the current conversion state from a particular character sequence to a
wide-character sequence (or <i>vice versa</i>) under the rules of a particular setting of the <i>LC_CTYPE</i> category of the
current locale.</p>
<p>The initial conversion state corresponds, for a conversion in either direction, to the beginning of a new character sequence in
the initial shift state. A zero valued <b>mbstate_t</b> object is at least one way to describe an initial conversion state. A zero
valued <b>mbstate_t</b> object can be used to initiate conversion involving any character sequence, in any <i>LC_CTYPE</i> category
setting.</p>
