If the multibyte encoding uses shift states, this function is not reentrant. In any case, multiple threads should not call <code>wctomb</code> without synchronization: <code><a href="wcrtomb" title="c/string/multibyte/wcrtomb">wcrtomb</a></code> or <code>wctomb_s</code> may be used instead.</p>
+<p>Unlike most bounds-checked functions, <code>wctomb_s</code> does not null-terminate its output, because it is designed to be used in loops that process strings character-by-character.</p>
