btowc(3) says:
This function should never be used. It does not work for encodings
which have state, and unnecessarily treats single bytes differently
from multibyte sequences. Use the function mbtowc() instead.
but mbtowc(3) says:
The function mbrtowc(3) provides a better interface to the same
functionality.
Obviously, btowc(3) should not suggest a non-optimal interface; it
should instead suggest mbrtowc. This is also true for the pair wctob(3)
and wctomb(3). A patch is attached to fix both manpages to suggest the
preferable functions.
