fputwc(3)


NAME

   fputwc, putwc - write a wide character to a FILE stream

SYNOPSIS

   #include <stdio.h>
   #include <wchar.h>

   wint_t fputwc(wchar_t wc, FILE *stream);
   wint_t putwc(wchar_t wc, FILE *stream);

DESCRIPTION

   The  fputwc() function is the wide-character equivalent of the fputc(3)
   function.   It  writes  the  wide   character   wc   to   stream.    If
   ferror(stream)  becomes  true,  it  returns  WEOF.  If a wide-character
   conversion error occurs, it sets errno  to  EILSEQ  and  returns  WEOF.
   Otherwise, it returns wc.

   The  putwc()  function  or macro functions identically to fputwc().  It
   may be implemented as a macro, and may evaluate its argument more  than
   once.  There is no reason ever to use it.

   For nonlocking counterparts, see unlocked_stdio(3).

RETURN VALUE

   The  fputwc()  function  returns  wc  if  no error occurred, or WEOF to
   indicate an error.  In the event of an error, errno is set to  indicate
   the cause.

ERRORS

   Apart from the usual ones, there is

   EILSEQ Conversion of wc to the stream's encoding fails.

CONFORMING TO

   POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008, C99.

NOTES

   The behavior of fputwc()  depends  on  the  LC_CTYPE  category  of  the
   current locale.

   In  the  absence of additional information passed to the fopen(3) call,
   it is reasonable to  expect  that  fputwc()  will  actually  write  the
   multibyte sequence corresponding to the wide character wc.
