mbstowcs wcsncpy wcsnrtombs wcsrtombs

[Jon Grant]

Hello

I wonder if these man pages could refer to each other:

http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man3/mbstowcs.3.html


http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man3/wcsncpy.3.html


https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man3/wcsnrtombs.3.html

https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man3/wcsrtombs.3.html


In addition. Could I ask if it is possible to indicate if "wchar_t" is
UTF-16 format, and if "multi-byte char" is UTF8 format? Would be
useful to clarify that on the man pages.

Best regards, Jon

I did the following:

    wcstombs.3: SEE ALSO: add mbstowcs(3)
    mbstowcs.3: SEE ALSO: add reference to wcstombs(3)

But I'm not sure that more is needed.

If you can send me a clarification, I'd add it to the appropriate page.

Cheers,

Michael
