NAME
       fwide - set and determine the orientation of a FILE stream
SYNOPSIS
       #include <wchar.h>
       int fwide(FILE *stream, int mode);
   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
       fwide():
           _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 || _ISOC99_SOURCE ||
           _ISOC95_SOURCE /* Since glibc 2.12 */ ||
           _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L;
           or cc -std=c99
DESCRIPTION
       When mode is zero, the fwide() function determines the current orienta-
       tion of stream.  It returns a positive value if stream is  wide-charac-
       ter  oriented, that is, if wide-character I/O is permitted but char I/O
       is disallowed.  It returns a negative value if stream is byte oriented,
       i.e.,  if  char  I/O is permitted but wide-character I/O is disallowed.
       It returns zero if stream has no orientation yet; in this case the next
       I/O operation might change the orientation (to byte oriented if it is a
       char I/O operation, or to wide-character oriented if it is a wide-char-
       acter I/O operation).
       Once  a  stream  has  an orientation, it cannot be changed and persists
       until the stream is closed.
       When mode is nonzero,  the  fwide()  function  first  attempts  to  set
       stream's  orientation  (to  wide-character  oriented if mode is greater
       than 0, or to byte oriented if mode is less than 0).  It then returns a
       value denoting the current orientation, as above.
RETURN VALUE
       The  fwide()  function returns the stream's orientation, after possibly
       changing it.  A positive return value means wide-character oriented.  A
       negative  return  value  means  byte  oriented.  A return value of zero
       means undecided.
CONFORMING TO
       C99, POSIX.1-2001.
NOTES
       Wide-character output to  a  byte  oriented  stream  can  be  performed
       through the fprintf(3) function with the %lc and %ls directives.
       Char  oriented  output  to a wide-character oriented stream can be per-
       formed through the fwprintf(3) function with the %c and %s directives.
