NAME
putwchar - write a wide character to standard output
SYNOPSIS
#include <wchar.h>
wint_t putwchar(wchar_t wc);
DESCRIPTION
The
putwchar()
function is the wide-character equivalent of the
putchar(3)
function.
It writes the wide character wc to stdout.
If ferror(stdout) becomes true, it returns
WEOF.
If a wide character
conversion error occurs, it sets errno to EILSEQ and returns
WEOF.
Otherwise it returns wc.
For a nonlocking counterpart, see
unlocked_stdio(3).
RETURN VALUE
The
putwchar()
function returns wc if no error occurred, or
WEOF
to indicate an error.
CONFORMING TO
C99.
NOTES
The behavior of
putwchar()
depends on the
LC_CTYPE
category of the
current locale.
It is reasonable to expect that
putwchar()
will actually write
the multibyte sequence corresponding to the wide character wc.
