 If *`count`* is the special value [`_TRUNCATE`](../../c-runtime-library/truncate.md), then **`wcstombs_s`** converts as much of the string as will fit into the destination buffer, while still leaving room for a null terminator. If the string is truncated, the return value is **`STRUNCATE`**, and the conversion is considered successful.
 
-If **`wcstombs_s`** successfully converts the source string, it puts the size in bytes of the converted string, including the null terminator, into *&#42;pReturnValue* (provided *`pReturnValue`* is not **`NULL`**). This occurs even if the *`mbstr`* argument is **`NULL`** and provides a way to determine the required buffer size. Note that if *`mbstr`* is **`NULL`**, *count* is ignored.
