A function to decode utf-8 in streaming mode

This is my C language function to decode utf-8 into wide characters, a byte at a time. It also detects encoding errors.

/**
 * mpdm_utf8_to_wc - Converts from utf8 to wchar (streaming).
 * @w: convert wide char
 * @s: temporal state
 * @c: char read from stream
 *
 * Converts a stream of utf8 characters to wide char ones. The input
 * stream is read one byte at a time from @c and composed into @w
 * until a Unicode codepoint is ready. The @s integer keeps an internal
 * state change and must be set to 0 before the stream is read. It
 * detects encoding errors; in this case, the special Unicode
 * char U+FFFD is returned.
 *
 * When 0 is returned, a new wide char is available into @w. If
 * the stream is interrupted in the middle of a multibyte character,
 * the @s state variable will not be 0.
