Yes. 1) the Linux manual pages.
2) The SUSV2. Their wording is nearly identical to the one in ISO C 99.

3) The glibc documentation.

It is out of date. It is based on the ANSI C amendment 1 (ca. 1995).
The semantics of mbrtowc has been changed since then.

Wrong advice. On some platforms mbstate_t is a scalar, which you can't
initialize like this.
