PUTWC(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual PUTWC(3P)
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.
