PUTWC(P) POSIX Programmer's Manual PUTWC(P)NAMEputwc - 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.
