PUTWC(3)                   Library Functions Manual                   PUTWC(3)

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.

SEE ALSO
     ferror(3), fopen(3), getwc(3), stdio(3)

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