NAME

fputwc, putwc, putwchar, — output a wide character to a stream

LIBRARY

Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

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

wint_t
fputwc(wchar_t wc, FILE *stream);

wint_t
putwc(wchar_t wc, FILE *stream);

wint_t
putwchar(wchar_t wc);

DESCRIPTION

The fputwc() function writes the wide character wc to the output stream pointed to by stream.

putwc() acts essentially identically to fputwc(), but is a macro that expands in-line. It may evaluate stream more than once, so arguments given to putwc() should not be expressions with potential side effects.

putwchar() is identical to putwc() with an output stream of stdout.

RETURN VALUES

The functions fputwc(), putwc(), and putwchar() return the wide character written. If an error occurs, the value WEOF is returned.

STANDARDS

The functions fputwc(), putwc(), and putwchar(), conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (“ISO C99”).
