It writes the wide character \fIwc\fP to \fBstdout\fP. +If \fIferror(stdout)\fP becomes true, it returns WEOF. If a wide character +conversion error occurs, it sets \fBerrno\fP to \fBEILSEQ\fP and returns WEOF. +Otherwise it returns \fIwc\fP. +.PP +For a non-locking counterpart, see +.BR unlocked_stdio (3). +.SH "RETURN VALUE" +The \fBputwchar\fP function returns \fIwc\fP if no error occurred, or WEOF to +indicate an error. +.SH "CONFORMING TO" +ISO/ANSI C, UNIX98 +.SH NOTES +The behaviour of \fBputwchar\fP depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the +current locale. +.PP +It is reasonable to expect that \fBputwchar\fP will actually write +the multibyte sequence corresponding to the wide character \fIwc\fP. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR fputwc (3), +.BR unlocked_stdio (3) |
