EILSEQ

Prototype

#include <errno.h>

#define EILSEQ	implementation-defined

Description

The EILSEQ macro expands to a constant value that is stored in errno after a multibyte encoding error occurred. This type of error occurs if a character presented to a wide-character input/output function does not correspond to a valid (generalized) multibyte character or if a character sequence does not form a valid (generalized) multibyte character. The EILSEQ macro was introduced by the ISO C Normative Addendum 1.
