fputwc, putwc - write a wide character to a FILE stream
#include <stdio.h>

wint_t fputwc(wchar_t wc, FILE *stream);
wint_t putwc(wchar_t wc, FILE *stream);
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).
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.
Apart from the usual ones, there is
Conversion of wc
to the stream's encoding fails.
