PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the  corresponding
       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
       putwc - put a wide character on a stream
SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdio.h>
       #include <wchar.h>
       wint_t putwc(wchar_t wc, FILE *stream);

DESCRIPTION
       The putwc() function shall be equivalent to fputwc(), except that if it
       is implemented as a macro it may evaluate stream more than once, so the
       argument should never be an expression with side effects.
RETURN VALUE
       Refer to fputwc().
ERRORS
       Refer to fputwc().
       The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
       None.
APPLICATION USAGE
       Since it may be implemented as a macro,  putwc()  may  treat  a  stream
       argument  with  side effects incorrectly. In particular, putwc(wc,*f++)
       need not work correctly.  Therefore, use of this function is not recom-
       mended; fputwc() should be used instead.
RATIONALE
       None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
