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.
