Interpretation of Multibyte-Character Sequences
Most multibyte-character routines in the Microsoft run-time library recognize multibyte-character sequences relating to a multibyte code page. The output value is affected by the setting of the LC_CTYPE category setting of the locale; see setlocale for more information. The versions of these functions without the _l suffix use the current locale for this locale-dependent behavior; the versions with the _l suffix are identical except that they use the locale parameter passed in instead.
